Before you give these drops to your child, it's crucial to consult your doctor who will guide you on the appropriate dosage and frequency. It's equally important to inform the doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications your child may have. If you notice any side effects while your child is on this medicine, notify your doctor immediately.

Side Effects of Arbivit 3 400iu Drops 15ml

When given to your child, Arbivit 3 400iu Drops 15ml can potentially cause the following common side effects:

Hypercalcemia: This condition occurs when the levels of calcium in your child's blood are above normal, leading to symptoms like nausea and constipation.
Vomiting

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which are resolved by discontinuing the use of Arbivit 3 400iu Drops 15ml. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general suggestions for managing common side effects:

Arbivit 3 400iu Drops 15ml contain cholecalciferol (400 IU), which affects your child's body in the following ways:

Conversion to Calcitriol: Cholecalciferol is metamorphosed in the liver and kidneys into calcitriol, an active form of vitamin D.
Increases Calcium Absorption: Calcitriol acts on the intestines, prompting them to absorb more calcium.
Releases Calcium from Bones: This active form of vitamin D works on bones, stimulating them to release calcium into the bloodstream.
Prevents Calcium Loss: Calcitriol also acts on the kidneys, helping them reabsorb calcium that would otherwise be excreted.
