Abidec Multivitamin Drops 25ml

Why do you need to give Abidec Multivitamin Drops

During the first two years, children have a very high nutritional need in relation to their size. Vitamins play an important role in maintaining healthy growth. Water soluble vitamins can be used up or lost quickly, therefore it is important that your child receives the recommended vitamins daily. Abidec Multivitamin Drops have been specially formulated to help meet the nutritional requirements of your children.

How Abidec Multivitamin Drops Work

This medicine contains seven essential vitamins that a child or baby needs to grow and keep healthy.

Before you give Abidec Multivitamin Drops

Do not use this medicine if:

• your child is allergic to peanut or soya, because abidec drops contain arachis oil (peanut oil)
• your child is having other vitamin supplements
• your baby is receiving more than 500mls of formula milk per day. This is to avoid exceeding the safe upper limit of Vitamin A
• your child is allergic to any of the ingredients
