Multiple micronutrient powder

Usually for children 6 to 23 months: mix one sachet into a small portion of soft food that is ready to eat and not hot, once a day or as the health worker advises. Do not add it to drinks or to food while cooking. Do not give at the same time as iron syrup unless told to.

Your doctor may give you a different dose. Children's doses depend on weight.

• Children already receiving iron syrup or drops (ask the health worker)
• Thalassaemia or iron overload
• Severe acute malnutrition being treated with therapeutic food (not needed)

No important interactions are listed in our database. Still tell your doctor or pharmacist everything you take.
