Hello,
- Unless your son has been diagnosed with decreased calcium, he doesn't need to be on this calcium supplementation
- I would suggest you stop one or both of the tablets now. At your next visit with the pediatrician, you can check with him/her if it was suggested by the pediatrician.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
