This preparation is indicated for the prevention and treatment of vitamin deficiency in infants and children.

Multivitamins are combinations of different vitamins that are naturally present in foods and other sources. They are used to supplement vitamins that may not be adequately obtained from the diet. They are also used to treat deficiencies caused by illness, poor nutrition, digestive disorders, and other conditions.

Each 0.6 ml liquid multivitamin preparation contains:

• Vitamin A: 1.2 mg
• Vitamin D: 10 mcg
• Vitamin C: 50 mg
• Thiamine Hydrochloride: 1 mg
• Riboflavin: 0.5 mg
• Pyridoxine Hydrochloride: 1 mg
• Niacinamide: 5 mg
• Dexpanthenol: 3 mg

Vitamin A plays an essential role in retinal function and is necessary for growth and differentiation of epithelial tissue.

Vitamin B complex is involved in the synthesis and maintenance of coenzyme A and is essential for lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, tissue respiration, glycogen breakdown, and inhibition of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) synthesis. It may also enhance removal of chylomicron triglycerides from plasma.

Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) is required for normal erythropoiesis, nucleoprotein and myelin synthesis, cell reproduction, and growth. It requires intrinsic factor for absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and plays a role in tissue respiration and activation of pyridoxine, as well as conversion of tryptophan to niacin.

Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant and protects essential cellular components.

Vitamin C is necessary for collagen formation and tissue repair and participates in oxidation-reduction reactions and metabolic pathways including synthesis of catecholamines, carnitine, and steroids. It also assists in conversion of folic acid to folinic acid.

Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble sterol required for regulation of calcium and phosphate balance and bone mineralization. It enhances calcium absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and promotes bone formation. Clinical studies show that calcium and vitamin D have synergistic effects on bone growth and help prevent osteoporosis and fractures.

Below 1 year: 9-10 drops (0.3 ml)

1 year and above: 23-25 drops (1.0 ml) once daily or as advised by the physicians.

Supplemental vitamins are contraindicated in patients with haemochromatosis or Wilson’s disease. Use is also contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients. Excess intake of vitamins A and D may cause hypervitaminosis. When prescribing multivitamin preparations, vitamin intake from other sources should be considered.

Multivitamin preparations in usual doses are generally non-toxic and well tolerated.
