In children aged three to twelve, the usual daily dose is 500 IU cholecalciferol, which is achieved by taking 1 tablet every other day.
Put the tablet in your mouth with your dry hands, preferably under your tongue, and let it melt and absorb.
There is no need to drink or chew the tablets.
Ingestion of the whole or dissolved tablet is not a problem, however, this loses the advantage of this dosage form.
