Capsule for child
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
