How Does ABED Oral Drops Work?
Each vitamin in the ABED formula plays a specific role. Vitamin A supports vision, skin, and immune defence. Vitamin D regulates calcium absorption for strong bones and teeth. Vitamin E provides antioxidant protection. Vitamin C supports immunity and iron absorption. B-Complex vitamins support energy production and nervous system development. Folic Acid is essential for healthy cell growth and DNA formation. The MCT oil base improves fat-soluble vitamin absorption and makes the drops easy to digest for infants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can ABED Oral Drops be given to a newborn?
Yes, but only under a doctor's guidance — newborn vitamin requirements vary based on feeding method, birth weight, and individual health. Always confirm the correct dose with your paediatrician.
Q: Can I mix ABED Drops into milk or food?
Yes, the drops can be mixed into breast milk, formula, or soft food for easy administration. Avoid mixing into hot liquids as heat may reduce vitamin potency.
Q: My child already takes Vitamin D drops — can I also give ABED?
No, do not combine without asking your doctor first. ABED already contains Vitamin D, and adding a separate supplement risks exceeding the safe daily limit for infants.
Q: How long should ABED Oral Drops be given?
Duration depends on the child's dietary intake and deficiency status. Your paediatrician will advise, do not continue indefinitely without periodic review of the child's nutritional status.
