If your child already takes another multivitamin, vitamin D, iron or other nutritional supplement, check the ingredients before combining products. This helps avoid unnecessary duplication of nutrients such as vitamins A and D, iron and zinc.

If your child has a medical condition, takes regular medication, has a restricted diet or has specific nutritional requirements, ask your pharmacist, GP or dietitian for individual advice.
