Brief Answer:
Not recommended

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concerns about your child's weight but these tablets are not at all recommended for this purpose. To improve your child's weight, you need to rule out any chronic disease, ensure good healthy balanced protein rich diet, some physical activity and good lifestyle.

Treat him for any illness or vitamin/mineral deficiency if present after clinical evaluation.
