Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) Oil (from coconut/palm kernel oil) - strength not specified
Dietary supplement for patients requiring additional calories from easily absorbable fats; supportive nutrition in malabsorption syndromes (e.g., pancreatic insufficiency, cholestasis), fat malabsorption, and in conditions needing MCT-based nutrition as advised by a doctor/dietitian
MCTs are rapidly digested and absorbed compared to long-chain fats and are transported directly to the liver via the portal vein. They provide quick energy and are less dependent on bile salts and pancreatic enzymes for absorption.
Oral use. Use as directed by physician/dietitian. Start with small quantity and increase gradually to improve tolerance. Can be mixed with food or beverages (e.g., milk, porridge, smoothies) or added to feeds; avoid overheating/frying; take with meals if gastric upset occurs.
Common side effects of SIMYL MCT OIL 50ml may include:
Use with caution in liver disease, diabetes (calorie load), and patients on medically supervised diets. Introduce gradually to reduce GI side effects. Not for parenteral use. Stop and seek medical advice if severe diarrhea, abdominal pain, or allergic reaction occurs. Use under medical supervision in infants/children and in patients with severe illness.
