Ultra-D3 syrup contains **1000 IU Vitamin D3 in 5 ml**.
For a **3-year-old child**, the usual maintenance requirement of Vitamin D is about **600 IU per day**.
So the practical dose would be:
* **3 ml once daily**
Important:
* Do not combine with other Vitamin D supplements at the same time.
* If the doctor prescribed it for **deficiency**, the dose may be different.
If you tell me the **child’s weight and whether it is for routine supplementation or deficiency**, I can guide more precisely.

As the sun exposure is minimal in most situations, it is best to continue vitamin d3 supplement for children.

Adequate sun exposure whenever possible

preferable to get a pediatrician's offline visit to check for signs of vitamin d deficiency, in which case he will need higher dosage

You can give 2 ml daily as maintenance dose. However, vitamin D is not recommended daily for 3 year old child. Only if the measured vitD is low or dietary intake is inadequate or child has delayed milestones or repeated infections or child does not get adequate sun exposure, then only it is recommended.
