Hi
Tasiron drops should be 5 drops not 5ml i suppose
5 drops u can give in the mrng
Not so needed in afternoon
And kindly avoid milk with iron supplements as it will reduce absorption
If the child is active we can give once daily dose

Hello there, I think there is some mistake.
Tasiron drops has iron 5mg=1 ml , so tasirom drops need to be given 2 ml twice a day after food.
SYP. Tasiron has iron 10 mg =. 5 ml , so tasiron syrup needs to be given 5 ml twice a day after food.
Make sure you give correct dose and strength.
There is confusion between drops and syrup.
