It contains ingredients like Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids (precursors of DHA and ARA), Choline, Taurine, Iron, and Iodine to support brain development.

It also contains a nucleotide premix and antioxidants.
How should Dexolac Special Care Infant Formula be prepared?
Always wash your hands thoroughly and sterilize the feeding bowl and spoon (or bottle, teat, and ring) by boiling them in water for 10 minutes before preparation. Boil drinking water for 5 minutes and let it cool to a lukewarm temperature. Refer to the feeding table on the product packaging for the correct amount of lukewarm water. Add the exact number of leveled scoops of powder using only the scoop provided in the pack, according to the infant's age. Stir well until the powder dissolves completely. Test the temperature of the prepared formula before feeding to ensure it's not too hot.
What is the usual dosage for Dexolac Special Care Infant Formula?
The specific dosage and feeding frequency will depend on the baby's age, weight, and individual nutritional needs. It is crucial to always follow the feeding table and instructions provided on the Dexolac Special Care Infant Formula packaging or as advised by a pediatrician.
What are the possible side effects of Dexolac Special Care Infant Formula?
While generally safe and formulated for infants, some babies might experience digestive discomfort or allergic reactions if they have sensitivities to specific ingredients. If any adverse reactions occur, it is recommended to consult a pediatrician.
Is Dexolac Special Care Infant Formula safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Dexolac Special Care Infant Formula is specifically designed for infants and is not intended for use by pregnant or breastfeeding mothers. Breast milk is considered the best source of nutrition for babies, and its use should only be on the advice of a healthcare worker.
How should Dexolac Special Care Infant Formula be stored?
Unopened containers of powdered formula should be stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Once opened, the remaining powder should be moved to an airtight container (if not already in one) and used within 2-3 weeks, or as per the manufacturer's instructions on the label. Prepared formula should be used immediately, ideally within one hour of feeding beginning and within two hours of preparation. If not used immediately, it can be stored in the refrigerator for a maximum of 24 hours. Any leftover formula in the bottle after feeding should be discarded, as the combination of formula and baby's saliva can promote bacterial growth.
What precautions should be taken when using Dexolac Special Care Infant Formula?
Always follow the mixing instructions carefully to avoid issues with consistency or nutritional balance. Unboiled water, unsterilized feeding equipment, or incorrect dilution can endanger the infant's health. Prepare only one feed at a time and use it immediately (within half an hour to two hours). Discard any unused feed. Never use a microwave to warm the formula, as it can create hot spots and burn the baby. It's also important to check the expiration date on the container before use.
