Thickeners to aid swallowing

The consumption of thickened fluids and texture modified foods is common for the management of dysphagia. Softer foods are easier to control in your mouth and thickened fluids move slowly down your throat, giving your muscles more time to protect your airway.

Dr. MacLeod’s thickeners have been developed to help those with dyspgagia consume their favourite drinks, and help their families care for them by making thickened fluids easy.
