bladder cancer

Question

Which supplement can i use for bladder cancer (bcg) treatment.

Answer

We have a wide range of nutritional supplements available at Nutricia. These include milkshake style supplements such as Fortisip, juice style such as Fortijuce and a range of dessert style supplements, for example, Fortisip Fruit Dessert. No particular nutritional supplement would be more beneficial than another during your current treatment, and it may be that you would like to try a variety of different tastes and flavours to find one or two that suit your taste best. The pudding style supplements may be suitable if you need to restrict your fluid intake at all during your treatment session, but it would be best to speak with your doctor before staring any supplements.

Your doctor, Dietitian or nurse will be able to advise you further about taking a nutritional supplement whilst receiving the BCG treatment.

Here at Nutricia we do not hold any specific data about using BCG for cancer of the bladder and interactions with nutritional supplements and it maybe best to seek the advice of your pharmacist, who should be able to help you with any queries about the medications that you are currently taking.
