SolCarb

What is the shelf-life of an opened can of SolCarb?

Once opened, SolCarb can be kept up to 1 year. An opened can of SolCarb must be kept properly sealed (when not in use) and stored in a cool, dry place (not in the refrigerator). When stored in less than ideal conditions, SolCarb powder will pick up moisture making the powder clumpy and hard.

Can SolCarb be used for tube feedings?

Yes. Using a household measure or a gram scale, measure the required amount of SolCarb powder. Add the powder to the tube feeding formula. Stir or shake until the powder has dissolved. The powder must be fully dissolved or tube blockage may occur. Serve immediately or store in refrigerator for no longer that 24 hours. Shake or stir before serving.

Can SolCarb be mixed in liquids or moist foods?

Yes. Using a household measure or a gram scale, measure the required amount of SolCarb powder. Add the powder to any liquid or moist food. Stir or shake until the powder has dissolved. Serve immediately or store in refrigerator for no longer that 24 hours. Shake or stir before serving.

Can SolCarb be used as a replacement for the discontinued Polycose?

Yes, SolCarb is used the same way you used Polycose in the past. The products are considered therapeutic equivalents.

Can SolCarb be used as a sole source of nutrition?

No. SolCarb contains carbohydrate only. It is not a source of vitamins and minerals. SolCarb should not be used as a sole source of nutrition.

Can SolCarb be used in infants, children and adults?

Yes. Do not give SolCarb to premature infants or to individuals who might have immune system problems, unless directed by a doctor.

Can SolCarb be used with premature infants or those who are immunocompromised?

The CDC has issued guidelines to help decrease the risk of infection in vulnerable populations from powdered formulas.

SolCarb is a powder and is therefore similar to powdered infant formulas in that neither are sterile, so the precautions are the same for both.

SolCarb is manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practices, but because it is a powder, it cannot be made sterile. Based on CDC guidelines, it is suggested that SolCarb not be given to premature infants or immunocompromised individuals unless no alternative is available or unless directed and supervised by a physician.
