Abbott Similac NeoSure Premature Infant Formula 370g

About this product

Abbott Similac NeoSure – Specialised Nutrition for Premature & Low-Birthweight Babies Abbott Similac NeoSure is a premium specialised formula designed for premature (preterm) and low-birthweight infants who have been discharged from neonatal intensive care and are transitioning to home feeding.

NeoSure provides higher levels of protein, calcium, phosphorus, and energy than standard infant formula to support the rapid catch-up growth required by preterm babies whose nutritional needs exceed those of full-term infants. Developed in collaboration with neonatologists and backed by clinical research, NeoSure is the trusted post-discharge formula choice worldwide.

Key Features of Abbott Similac NeoSure Higher protein, calorie, and mineral content tailored for premature infant catch-up growth Elevated calcium and phosphorus for accelerated bone mineralisation DHA and ARA for brain and visual development in vulnerable preterm infants Iron enriched to support haemoglobin in premature babies with lower iron stores Formulated with neonatologist input — specifically designed for NICU-discharged infants Uses of Abbott Similac NeoSure Similac NeoSure is used for premature and low-birthweight infants (born before 37 weeks or below 2.5kg) who have been discharged from hospital care and require enhanced nutritional support for catch-up growth.

Use should be guided and monitored by a paediatrician or neonatologist, with transition to standard formula as the infant reaches appropriate weight and developmental milestones.

Due to the vulnerability of preterm infants, hygiene in formula preparation is critical — always use freshly boiled and cooled water. Warnings & Precautions NeoSure is intended for premature and low-birthweight infants under medical supervision.

Do not use for full-term, healthy-weight infants as the higher calorie and protein content is not appropriate. Always use under direction of a paediatrician or neonatologist. Breastmilk remains optimal for preterm infants — use NeoSure when breastmilk is unavailable or insufficient.

Possible Side Effects Generally well tolerated. Some preterm infants may experience constipation or gassiness. Given the vulnerability of premature infants, always report any unusual symptoms to your medical team immediately. Frequently Asked Questions How is NeoSure different from regular Similac Gold? NeoSure has higher calorie density, protein, calcium, phosphorus, and iron content compared to standard infant formula, specifically to meet the elevated nutritional demands of preterm infants requiring catch-up growth after NICU discharge.

How long should my premature baby use NeoSure? Your neonatologist will guide the transition timeline. Most preterm infants use post-discharge formula until they reach the corrected age equivalent of a full-term 3–6-month-old, but this varies by degree of prematurity and growth progress.

Can I combine NeoSure with breast milk? Yes — supplementing breast milk with NeoSure or using NeoSure when breast milk is insufficient is common practice for preterm infants. Your neonatologist will advise on the optimal feeding ratio. Is NeoSure available without a prescription in Pakistan? NeoSure is a specialised medical nutrition product.

While available for purchase, it should only be used under the guidance of a paediatrician or neonatologist who is managing your premature infant’s growth and development. What weight should my baby reach before transitioning away from NeoSure? Your neonatologist will assess growth velocity, weight-for-age, and head circumference progress.

There is no single weight threshold — the transition is individualised based on your baby’s catch-up growth trajectory. Disclaimer: Similac NeoSure is a specialised medical formula for premature infants. It must be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.

Breastmilk remains the best nutrition for premature infants whenever possible.
