My six year son has recently been prescribed iron supplement syrup following some blood tests in relation to some feeding difficulties that he has.
His medicine is 140mg/5mls and he has to take 5mls twice a day, so a total of 280mg a day.
From what I’ve been reading this seems like a very high dose for his age. I’m almost 40 and on iron supplements too and he takes a higher daily dose than I do?!!
What are other people’s experiences with this?
