Today, Royal Numico N.V. announced the signing of a letter of intent with Baxter Healthcare Corporation to negotiate a series of global agreements for distribution of nutritional products for clinical and therapeutic use.
In clinical nutrition, there are two types of therapeutic options: parenteral, sometimes referred to as total parenteral nutrition (TPN), is nutrition that is received through intravenous therapy (IV therapy); and, enteral which describes a range of liquid nutritional formulations, given as drinks or via tubes. A key clinical goal is to provide patients who require specialised feeding with optimal nutrition through either parenteral or enteral administration.
