Re: Need Vitamin K supplement

[Guest guest]

,

Ricky takes a prescription vitamin w/fluoride and iron, and our CF

doc prescribes a vitamin k pill called mephyton. He takes one

tablet three times a week, and it is covered by the insurance. It can

also be compounded with a syrup if a child is not able to take a

pill.

Maybe ask your doc about prescribing mephyton??

Good luck!

You could switch to ABDEK. They are not bad tasting & they are a smooth

smaller gel capsule-so easy to take. For a wee baby, a small hole can be

pierced & squeezed into babies mouth . Has the added B vitamin as well.

Call if we can help 1- . NOT expensive. Made by SOURCECF.,

especiallyfor the person with CF.

Need Vitamin K supplement

I need some help. My daughter absolutely hates the ADEK's vitamins

and refuses to take them. We are now using Centrum JR, and taking 2

a day. By taking 2 a day we are at the approriate levels for

vitamins A,D & E, but we are still lacking vitamin K. I have not had

any luck finding a k supllement for children. Luckily she loves

broccoli and has been eating some every night for supper. Are there

any other supplements/food sources that can help supply vitamin k?

Well, you might post to Beverly Donnelson of the Cystic Fibrosis Pharmacy in

Orlando, Florida; she is utterly reliable and charming and funning to boot!

Her addy is bevd@... - Good luck!

You could switch to VITAMAX which are a children's chewable version

of ADEK's and they come in Orange and Grape. We had the same problem

with ADEK's but did fine with the VITAMAX. We ordered from the CF

pharmacy.

If your child likes foods made with mayo, try using Miracle Whip

salad dressing. One tablespoon of it has 10% of the USRDA for

Vitamin K. A tablespoon is a lot to put on a sandwich for a child,

but if you make devilled eggs or potato/macaroni salad or egg salad

with one or two meals each day, the benefits could add up.
