Leading 10 items dispensed for oral nutrition in England in 2021, by number of items
Oral nutrition includes food for special diets and enteral nutrition, for patients with chronic illnesses or conditions who cannot feed normally. Since these products are not medicines they can be supplied to patients via other route, so use shown here is an underestimate.
The statistic shows the number of prescription items dispensed. 'Items' is the number of times a product appears on a prescription form. Prescription forms include both paper prescriptions and electronic messages.
