How Safe Is Aptimust Syrup For An Infant For Weight Gain?
Hi.. My baby is 8 months old and she is 7.3kg now. Her birth weight was 3.64kg. She s a fussy eater. Very choosy too. Her weight gain seems to be very slow. I asked my ped, he suggested me zincovit 0.5ml 2 times per day trifer 0.3ml 2 times per day, and aptimust syrup 2.5ml once per day. Pls let me know if I can give aptimust syrup and how far it s safe for her as I read that it has few side effects??? Thanks.

Hello,
Aptimust is only appetite stimulant. Children will have interest for food.
So harm in giving Aptimust. But as you said to watch out for side effects.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
