Directions
Always use Healthy Start Children’s Vitamin Drops exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / Chemist4U pharmacist has told you.
Shake the bottle well and then unscrew the cap. Turn the bottle upside down and tap the bottom until drops form.
You should give your child 5 drops a day. We recommend putting them directly onto a spoon to ensure they get the correct dose. If your child won't take the drops from a spoon, you can try putting them in food or drink.
We recommend mixing the drops with milk or another liquid food. If your baby doesn’t finish the milk, they will not have taken the complete dose of these drops, but do not give them any more drops until the next day. The next day, add the drops to a smaller amount of food or milk to make sure your child will drink the full amount.
Vitamins and minerals
Each 5-drop dose contains the following vitamins:
- Vitamin A: 223mcg
