It has been adapted to meet the proper growth and maturation needs of a baby allergic to cows milk proteins. Blemil ® plus Elemental is very easy to prepare. The ready-to-drink mixture is prepared similarly to traditional milk powder. The preparation is administered orally or through an enteral tube.
