Lofenalac (pronunciation:Lo-fen-alac) is a registered, trademarked infant powder formula prescribed to replace milk in the diets of phenylketonuria sufferers in the infant and child stage. It is not recommended for non-PKU patients. [2] In 1972, Lofenalac was declared a food by the FDA, for regulatory purposes. [3]
Initially the only available formula recommended was made by Mead Johnson. Others, including Albumaid XP, Cymogran, and Minafen, have since been developed in Britain. [4] Medical texts often recommend Lofenalac. [5] [6] [7]
Lofenalac can be rather expensive to purchase and few retailers stock it. The taste and smell has been described by adult users as "medical" and offensive, [8] although infants do not mind the flavor and children often consume it without complaint for some years. [9]
Patent Number: 5550146
