REVESTIVE
What is REVESTIVE used for?
REVESTIVE is used to treat adults and pediatric patients 1 year of age and above with Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS). SBS is a disorder arising from an inability to absorb food nutrients and fluid across the gastrointestinal tract (gut) due to not enough surface area.
