Glycosade is a unique modified cornstarch product for use in the dietary management of Glycogen Storage Disease where a long acting starch is indicated. Each 60g sachet has an equivalent carbohydrate content of 55g of uncooked cornstarch and is suitable from 2 years of age.

Glycosade is a food for special medical purposes for use under medical supervision. It can be mixed into food or drink or administered through a feeding tube.

Directions

The dosage is be determined by the clinician or dietitian following appropriate assessment (a fasting Glycosade load is recommended), and is dependent on the age, body weight and metabolic response of each patient.

As a drink
:
  • Measure the required amount of Glycosade into the shaker provided.
  • Add the liquid of your choice. Typically a sachet of Glycosade can be added to 100ml of cold water, milk or other permitted fluids.
  • Close the lid tightly and shake well for 10 seconds.
  • Drink Glycosade straight away.
With food:
  • Add the required amount of Glycosade to 150-200ml of suitable yoghurt or cold custard/rice pudding.
  • Stir well until smooth with a fork or a small whisk.
  • Eat Glycosade straight away.
Through a feeding tube:
  • Administer as a bolus to prevent possible tube blockage.
Do not heat or warm Glycosade as this destroys the properties of the starch.

  • Not for use as a sole source of nutrition.
