Vitadol C is a liquid vitamin supplement that contains vitamins A, C and D.
Breastmilk is the ideal and recommended food for your baby, but it is not a good source of vitamin D. Babies and children need vitamins to help with growth and development.
Vitamin D is one of the most important vitamins in Vitadol C. It helps your baby use calcium to build and maintain strong bones. Low levels of vitamin D in babies can cause rickets. This can result in weak bones, delayed walking, bowed legs and swollen wrists or ankles. Babies who are small or premature are at increased risk of rickets. These babies must take supplements.
Research shows term babies will also benefit from taking Vitadol C, especially if they have naturally dark skin. There is currently no medicine for babies that only contains vitamin D and so that is why we use Vitadol C.
The dose is 0.3ml (or 10 drops) once a day. The dose does not need to increase as your baby grows. Give it to your baby once a day when feeding breastmilk or formula.
You should start giving Vitadol C within your baby’s first week or when your baby is taking full feeds by mouth (oral). Keep giving 0.3ml of Vitadol C daily until your baby's first birthday or until your doctor asks you to stop.
You can use a syringe or a dropper. You can give it with milk.
If your baby vomits less than 30 minutes after giving the Vitadol C, give the same dose again. If it is more than 30 minutes, do not give another dose until it is next due.
Babies usually have no trouble taking Vitadol C as it tastes sweet.
You can store an unopened bottle at room temperature. Once you open it, store the bottle in the fridge and throw it away 2 months after opening.
