Cautions and Warnings

Patients undergoing immunosuppressive therapy should discuss the use of this product with their
health care practitioner. Each pouch of Immunocal provides 9 grams of protein. Patients on a protein-
restricted diet need to take this into account when calculating their daily protein load. Although a
bovine milk derivative, Immunocal contains less than 1% lactose and is therefore well tolerated by
lactose-intolerant individuals. Consult a health care practitioner before use if you are pregnant or
breastfeeding.

Contra-Indications
Immunocal is contraindicated in individuals who develop or have known hypersensitivity to specific
milk proteins (this does not include lactose intolerance).
