Capsule for child

2020-07-10 16:35:01
My child has been prescribed coq 10 and vitamin a capsules. Can we open the capsule and give it. Or should it be swallowed. My child doesn't know how to swallow a capsule and I am scared to give it to him.

Capsules are meant to be swallowed.. can't be broken and taken... Rather than capsules you can go for vitamin A paediatric oral solution named SLAVIT-A .it contains 10,000 international unit in 1 ml . And liq 10 100mg per 5 ml for coq10. so you can adjust the dose accordingly
