Has anyone ever used c-plus cold tablets for little ones before?

If so how well does it work?? I just bought some for my one year old daughter and was wondering how quickly and efficiently it worked.

It has a dosage for infants(1-3 yrs.). Im not stupid I wouldnt give her anything that I felt would harm her.

If it's got recommended doses listed for 1-year-old children, it should be perfectly safe to give her. However, most supplemental vitamins shouldn't be given to children under 2 unless a pediatrician specifically recommends it (which is rare). Normally, children of that age get all the nutrition they will need from their diet. That being said, Vitamin C gets into the system within a few hours. Good luck!


[edit]: I apologize if I didn't say that very well... I wasn't trying to say that you were stupid or that you would do anything that would harm your child at all. I find myself all too often pointing out that children can't have the same doses as adults... it's amazing how many people thought they could give a 2-4 year old child an adult multivitamin or a pill of Ginkgo Biloba or something. I tend to give that general caution as my first response because children that young should seldom have or need supplements.
The effectiveness time would vary depending on the ailment you're trying to help.

DON'T DO IT!!! please tell me that you are kidding. ANY medicine that does not say infant (and even some of those I am not sure about) should not be given to a child under 2 and a half! Those are made for adults and are measured to help an adult sized body to process them. IF you give them to a child they can hurt more than help! Please read this story before you take any action, then read some home remedies that have been proved to be okay for kids, and lastly read this warning about vitamin c overdose. please be careful!

::3.Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is one of the most commonly taken supplements in the United States. Generally, it is safe, but avoid taking large doses of this vitamin. As a matter of fact, an Upper Limit was set in 2000 as part of the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs). For adults, this level was set at 2000 mg per day. Taking doses this large can result in diarrhea, stomach cramps, and nausea. These unpleasant symptoms are from the vitamin being unabsorbed in your intestinal tract. Besides, it's a waste to take such a large amount because the more vitamin C you take, the less your body absorbs.

Other purported possible side effects associated with high vitamin C intake include:

kidney stones
reduced Vitamin B-12 and copper status
increased oxygen demand
becoming a pro-oxidant (a substance thought to promote cancer, heart disease, and stroke, the opposite of an antioxidant)
The Food and Nutrition Board, the committee that sets the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) and DRIs, examined the evidence for each of these claims, but couldn't find enough research to prove any of them.

One noteworthy precaution is for people with hemochromatosis, an iron overload disease. Since vitamin C increases iron absorption, supplemental C is not recommended for them
