Is Giving Calcium Drops Safe While On Ferium And Zincovit In Infants?
Hello, I am giving my 6 month baby Vitamin D (0.5 ml) from birth.Now doctor has suggested to give Ferium & Zincovit to him both 0.5 ml. He is very weak, under weight and recently recovered from diahrrea and sever cough. Can i start his calcium drops for him as his bones have become very weak. If yes how much?

Hi
The reason for Vitamin D supplementation such as any proven deficiency has not been mentioned.No need to give calcium drops. Can give Zincovit drops 0.5 ml once daily along with ultra D3 drops (same time or with gap) till 1 year of age after food but with 4 hour gap with Ferium drops.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
