Helping parents and caregivers manage care for children living on home TPN.
Navigating parenthood is hard enough. Add in health challenges and it can be overwhelming. Whether your child has just been diagnosed, or you’ve been on the frontlines of caring for your child on home TPN for years, you’re in the right place.
A higher standard of care and support for your child exists.
Nutrishare has the support you need for your child’s home TPN care when you don’t know where to turn. We combine specialized pediatric home TPN pharmacy services, 1-to-1 clinical care, home TPN education, and access to a network of support from parents and caregivers like you to keep you and your family grounded.
Some children may outgrow the need for home TPN, while others may require it for life. If you are caring for a child on home TPN, close monitoring of their nutrition is key.
Our care team of Board-Certified Nutrition Support Pharmacists (BCNSP), Certified Nutrition Support Clinicians (CNSC), nurses, and dietitians have specialized expertise helping families navigate the ups and downs of home TPN care:
As the nation’s only pharmacy that is focused exclusively on home TPN, we understand the unique nutritional challenges that children on home TPN face. We’ve designed our care around helping your child achieve better clinical results:
The cost of home TPN for a child can easily add up. Thankfully, home TPN care is covered by most primary and secondary insurance plans. However, every insurance plan and home TPN pharmacy provider is different. In most cases, if you have an official diagnosis from a medical doctor, your child’s home TPN treatments should be covered in some way. Our team can help determine your amount of coverage with a simple insurance pre-check and find ways to make home TPN affordable for your family.
Since home TPN must be refrigerated until it is used, many caregivers warm home TPN before infusion so the child won’t be cold. However, rapid heating of home TPN in a microwave or boiling water is not advised. The best way to warm home TPN safely is through a natural warming process, such as wrapping it in a towel until it reaches room temperature or simply letting it sit out until it reaches room temperature. Keep in mind, just like food, home TPN can spoil if left out too long or if left in extreme heat.
