Avemar is a dietary supplement for cancer patients.
Avemar is indicated for supplementing the clinical oncological procedures (surgery, radiotherapy, chemo­therapy, immunotherapy etc.) of cancer patients. Avemar can be used in cancer related cachexia. Avemar is indicated to be taken without interruption before, during the full course and after the completion of oncological treatments. Avemar is recommended at any stage of malignant disease. After surgery, Avemar may be initiated when the patient is able to take oral food without complications for at least 4 days.
It is recommended to start taking Avemar right after the recognition of malignant disease (diagnoses). There is no need to wait for the start of the oncological treatment.

For adults weighing less than 90 kg one dose is recommended per day that shall be prepared according to the instructions as described in Cautions for Usage. Avemar should be consumed approximately 1 hour before meals.
Adults with body weight of 90 kg or above should consume 2 single (2 x 17 g) doses per day (one in the morning and one in the evening).
Avemar is indicated to be taken continuously, without interruption. Following the completion of oncological treatments it is indicated to continue taking Avemar for several years until complete recovery. If the continuous taking of Avemar is interrupted or suspended for any reason, there is no risk to restart taking it again.

Women who are pregnant or nursing should not consume the product. Avemar is also strictly contraindicated for patients undergoing organ or tissue transplantation. The dietary food should not be consumed by patients suffering from malabsorption syndrome (serious impairment of absorption). The product is contraindicated in gluten sensitive enteropathies (celiac sprue) or for patients with hypersensitivity to any of the components and ingredients of the product.

Avemar Granulate is not intended to substitute cancer therapies and drugs. Not recommended for children under the age of 14. Avemar granulate is not suitable for use as the sole source of nourishment.

Diabetics can consume Avemar as well, taking into account the carbohydrate content of the product.
It is advised to suspend Avemar treatment at least two days before the planned gastroenteral diagnostic procedure in which contrast material (such as barium sulfate) is used. It is also advised to suspend taking Avemar two days before PET/CT diagnostic examination. In every case the instructions of the doctor should be respected. In case of examinations, procedures to be carried out on an empty stomach, Avemar should be taken accordingly.

Avemar may very infrequently have side effects, such as soft stool, unsettled stomach and nausea.

Avemar granulate should be consumed 2 hours before or after taking preparations with vitamin C content. It is recommended to take Avemar and other supplements or drugs at different times.

Preparation: Pour the contents of one sachet Avemar granulate (17 g) into a glass. Add 100-200 ml water (still mineral water) at will, mix thoroughly and drink the entire solution.
It should be consumed within 30 minutes of preparation. The unused solution should be discarded.
Avemar can be prepared by using any soft drink, tea, kefir, yoghurt, cocoa or milk. Experience has shown that by using cool or cold liquid the solution is more pleasant to consume. It is important to note, that the liquid to be used for preparation of Avemar should not be warm or hot. Using any liquid containing Vitamin C (ascorbic acid or food additive E 300) is not recommended for the preparation. After preparing dissolved Avemar granulate as described previously, the solution can be applied by using medical pipe (in this case preferably dissolving Avemar in only a small volume of water).
