An assessment of "Caloreen", a new, high-energy source.
A prospective evaluation study has been undertaken on "Caloreen", a new high energy preparation. Data were complete in 23 consecutive patients. Mean weight gain was 2.6 Kg (adults), and 2.2 Kg (children). Levels of haemoglobin and of serum albumin were. maintained (10.9-10.9 g%, and 3.4-3.6 g% respectively). Patient compliance was high. It was concluded that "Caloreen" was useful, and would given even more satisfactory results in predominantly Paediatric practices.
