For adults using tablet or capsule forms, take one tablet daily with food or as directed by your pharmacist. If using the liquid/drops form, follow the dosage on the pack. Taking it with food helps your body absorb the vitamins better, especially Vitamins A and D.
If you miss a dose, just take it as soon as you remember. But if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue as normal. Do not take a double dose to make up for the one you missed — these are vitamins, not medicine that needs to stay at a certain level in your blood.
Buy only from reputable pharmacies — avoid buying multivitamins from roadside sellers or market stalls as they may be expired, fake, or stored in hot conditions that destroy the vitamins. Do not give adult formulations to children; use the correct children's drops like Bradvite-M Multivitamin Drops for small children. Vitamins are helpful but they are not a replacement for eating balanced meals — try to eat fruits, vegetables, and protein alongside taking your vitamins.
If you are taking blood thinners like warfarin, Vitamin A and other vitamins in this mix can affect how well your medication works — tell your doctor. Antacids and ulcer drugs like omeprazole can reduce how well your body absorbs these vitamins. If you are already taking other multivitamin products, do not combine them as you may get too much of certain vitamins.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking this multivitamin, because too much Vitamin A during pregnancy can harm the unborn baby — your doctor will recommend a prenatal vitamin with the right amounts instead.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat — Nigerian weather can spoil vitamins fast, so avoid leaving them on window sills or in hot cars. Keep the bottle tightly closed to protect from humidity. Always keep out of reach of children, especially the drops, as children may think they are sweets.
