Greetings
Vitazyme drops contain a multienzyme complex and carminative oils, which resemble common over-the-counter aids used to support digestion and reduce infant colic, gas, or bloating.The pediatric response shown in the image correctly states that these are digestive enzymes, which are generally not deficient in healthy babies and are meant as digestive support rather than a cure.The duration of using such digestive enzyme supplements varies greatly depending on the baby's individual digestive symptoms, feeding habits, and why they were recommended.

Vitazyme drops are generally used to help with digestion-related symptoms such as gas or fussiness and are not usually required long-term in healthy newborns.
The duration depends on the reason they were prescribed. If your baby is feeding well, gaining weight appropriately, and has no ongoing digestive symptoms, prolonged use is usually not necessary.
