Are Macalvit And Hovite L Drops Safe In A Newborn Baby?

Hi, my baby is 1 month old. Pediatrician has suggested her macalvit 2.5ml twice a day and hovite L drops 0.5ml once a day for 3 months. Her birth weight was 2.9kg and after completing 1 month weight is 3.25kg. Please suggest is it safe for her to give these two drops? Ultra d3 drops are regular for twice a day.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The drops are safe. But if baby is on breastfeeds then no need to give anything other than Ultra D3 drops. Vaccinate your baby as per schedule advised by your pediatrician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
