DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
The recommended dosage is 1 or 2 mL (8,500 to 17,000 I.U.) or 1
or 2 full measuring scoops (each full measuring scoop equals 1mL; 28 drops from
the SUCRAID container tip equals 1mL) taken orally with each meal or snack
diluted with 2 to 4 ounces of water, milk or infant formula. The beverage or
infant formula should be served cold or at room temperature. The beverage or
infant formula should not be warmed or heated before or after addition of
SUCRAID because heating is likely to decrease potency. SUCRAID should not be
reconstituted or consumed with fruit juice since its acidity may reduce the
enzyme activity.
It is recommended that approximately half of the dosage be taken at the
beginning of the meal or snack and the remainder be taken during the meal or
snack.
The recommended dosage is as follows:
1 mL (8,500 I.U.) (one full measuring scoop or 28 drops) per meal or snack for
patients up to 15 kg in body weight.
2mL (17,000 I.U.) (two full measuring scoops or 56 drops) per meal or snack
for patients over 15 kg in body weight.
Dosage may be measured with the 1 mL measuring scoop (provided) or by drop
count method (1mL equals 28 drops from the SUCRAID container tip).
