Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. 5ml once a day.
iron supplements need to be taken on an empty stomach. it can be taken anytime of the day but it is advisable to take either 1 hour before food or 1 hour after food.
if taken with food the advantage of the medicine will be less.
also it is not advisable to take iron supplements with any other medicine and a gap should be maintained if other medicines are going on(half hour gap is enough).
you have to make the child drink water after taking iron supplements otherwise it can cause black staining of the tooth.
it will lead to black colour stool of the child which is totally normal.
RashmiMom of a 11 yr 1 m old girl1 Year agoA. Approximately 2ML twice in a day can be given to the child further you can check with your doctor for how long are you meant to give this supplement to the child because the dosage of the supplement also varies as per the current rate of your child
