Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 3

Abstract

This review mainly deals with the Formulation Development of Enteral Nutrition Products. Nutrition plays an important role in the prevention and management of many diseases. Chronic illness is associated with many complications such as anorexia, hypermetabolism, malabsorption, atrophy of muscles, liver, kidney, gastrointestinal tract heart, and impaired cell mediated immunity, susceptibility to infection, poor wound healing, anaemia, death. Hence it is important to correct caloric and nutrient deficiencies whenever possible. The term enteral means “within or by the way of gastrointestinal tract”. The nutrition product given by enteral route called as enteral nutrition product. The different types of enteral nutrition are classified as Short term and long term enteral nutrition. Enteral tubes are made of PVC, Polyurethane etc. The selection of the enteral formula is patient specific thus its nutritional requirements, the ingredients used in it are taken into consideration. The classification of formulas is also done on the basis of the patient’s needs and ingredients used in it. The enteral feeds can be given in the form of solutions and powders which require reconstitution. The quality control test like Osmolality, pH, etc is also taken into consideration. Thus, the purpose here is to point out explicitly the formulation development of enteral nutrition products.
