An upcoming medical procedure can bring necessary tension and physical strain. During preparation for surgery, maintaining an optimal nutritional status and sufficient energy reserves is essential, but a fasting period can throw your body off balance and contribute to fatigue. Nutricia Pre-op offers targeted and responsible support in this regard. This clear, energy-rich carbohydrate drink has been specially developed to provide your body with the necessary energy in the hours leading up to the procedure, so that you enter surgery stronger and better prepared.

Key benefits

• Targeted energy supply: Provides 50 kcal per 100 ml of easily digestible carbohydrates to replenish any nutritional deficits prior to the procedure.
• Can be used shortly before the procedure: May be safely consumed up to 2 hours before anaesthesia by patients with normal gastric emptying.
• Excellent tolerance: Completely gluten and lactose-free, making it gentle on the stomach and suitable for a wide target group.
• Pleasant taste: The fresh lemon flavour makes it comfortable and easy to take, even during a stressful preparation period.

How it works

Nutricia Pre-op is a food for special medical purposes specifically designed to optimise the body's metabolic status before surgery. By drinking this specific carbohydrate drink, the fasting period is effectively shortened. The rapidly absorbable carbohydrates (dextrin-maltose and fructose) provide a stable energy supply without unnecessarily burdening the stomach. This helps to reduce feelings of hunger and supports the maintenance of nutritional balance in the crucial hours before the scheduled procedure.
