Regarding Vitamin drops
Absolutely dejected and shocked to let you know that I've been incorrectly giving Depura D3 60000 IU oral solution to my 3 month old son for the past 2 months. The chemist had incorrectly given a stronger solution instead of the regular ones (400 IU) for babies. Got to know about this only after some research. I have immediately stopped given the incorrect 6K IU solution. How do I go about from now? My baby's behaviour is normal. Do I need to start giving the 400 IU drops? Please guide.
