Abidec Advanced Multivitamin Syrup – 150ml

Abidec Advanced Multivitamin Syrup is a 5ml spoon format for older children, designed with an enhanced and broader nutrient profile appropriate for school-age development needs. Where the Drops provide core vitamins A, B-group, C, and D in a concentrated dropper format for babies and very young children, the Advanced Syrup may include additional minerals such as Zinc and Iodine alongside the full vitamin profile, reflecting the more complex nutritional demands of growing children. The 5ml spoon format is also easier to measure and administer for older children than the dropper format.

Please refer to the current product label for the confirmed age range. Abidec Advanced Syrup is typically formulated for school-age children — commonly from age 3 or 4 upwards — though the exact age parameters should always be confirmed from the label before administering to a child.

At 5ml per day, the 150ml bottle provides exactly 30 days — a month's supply. The 30-day format makes it easy to track when to reorder and to maintain a consistent daily routine.

Consult your pharmacist or GP before combining any two multivitamin products. The key concern is avoiding excessive intake of fat-soluble vitamins A and D, which accumulate in the body if taken in excess. If your child is already receiving vitamins through school programmes or Healthy Start vouchers, your pharmacist can advise on whether Abidec Advanced Syrup is still appropriate.

Please check the current product label for confirmed sugar content. Some children's syrups contain added sugars; others use sweeteners. If your child has a medical condition requiring strict sugar management, confirm the excipient composition from the label and consult your GP or paediatric dietitian.

The UK's northern latitude means that sunlight UVB — which the skin uses to make Vitamin D — is insufficient for adequate production for most of the year. Children who spend a lot of time indoors, wear covering clothing, or have darker skin are at even greater risk of deficiency. The NHS and UK Chief Medical Officers recommend that children aged 1–4 take a daily Vitamin D supplement of 10 micrograms, and that older children take Vitamin D during autumn and winter.

Please confirm from the current product label. Some Abidec formulations have historically included arachis (groundnut/peanut) oil as an excipient. Always check the allergen information on the current label before giving to a child with a known peanut allergy or if there is a family history of peanut allergy.

Use a 5ml oral syringe or a calibrated medicine measuring spoon — not a household teaspoon, which can vary significantly in volume. Accurate dosing is particularly important for children's vitamins to ensure the correct nutrients are delivered without exceeding safe intake levels.
