FAQs
Q: Does SMA® Althéra® contain lactose?
A: Yes, SMA® Althéra® is nutritiously complete and contains lactose.
Q: Is SMA Althéra® an alternative for breastfeeding?
A: Breastfeeding is best for babies and full consideration of all other feeding options must be considered. SMA Althéra® must be used under strict medical supervision, so we suggest consulting a professional.
We believe breast milk is the best food for infants. When in consultation with their healthcare professional, mothers and families find that optimal breastfeeding is not possible due to their infant’s medical condition, formulas for special medical purposes play a vital role in providing essential nutrients to infants. We have a global commitment to market breast-milk substitutes responsibly.
