How safe are Ddrops?

A common misconception with vitamins is that they cannot be harmful. There is some truth to this if the instructions are not followed closely and/or if the product is not used as directed. However, if parents are diligent and follow instructions, vitamins are a great thing! This is why it is common to see warnings on packages and advertisements about attention to the dosing and administration. As with all products that are ingested, it is very important to read all the information you can, including the outside package, label, and insert. Your healthcare practitioner is usually familiar with products and sometimes may have special dosing instructions specific to your child.

Ddrops® products are designed carefully to incorporate several important safety features.

• Baby Ddrops® uses our “Euro Ddropper™” technology. The size of each drop is 0.03 mL containing 400 IU of vitamin D. The drop size is based on the surface tension of our carrier oil and the size of the orifice in the dropper. These factors remain constant, thus ensuring a consistent drop size. Every lot of Ddrops® is tested to confirm this dose consistency.
• By design, the “Euro Ddropper™” format limits the amount of liquid dispensed at any one given time, avoiding spilling or leaking. The glass bottles come with this bottle orifice reducer already in place to ensure controlled, metered product dispensing.
• A parent would literally have to pry the EuroDdropper™ apparatus out of the mouth of the bottle to circumvent its protective function. This is not easy to do and would take a deliberate attempt to defeat this important safety feature.
• Baby Ddrops® is designed to be dropped onto a clean surface (such as the mother’s nipple, or a clean finger), then licked off the clean surface rather than dropped directly into the baby’s mouth. This permits the Euro Ddropper™ to avoid contact with the baby (keeping it free of contamination). This method also allows easy monitoring of the number of drops dispensed from the dropper before the baby receives the solution.
• Ddrops® also includes tamper revealing caps and safety seals.

What about the information and communication provided to consumers from Ddrops Company? We believe that communication is an important strength of our company.

Here are some things that you may not realize:

• All Ddrops® products have clear language on the outside packaging that features instruction for use pictures, etc.
• Product strengths are differentiated by package color to minimize confusion between the different dose strengths.
• All Ddrops® products come with an extensive informational insert that outlines directions. When looking at other products in the marketplace, very few products include the same level of detail in the insert.
• Ddrops® website has extensive information for parents.
• Our website has been translated into Spanish and French.
• There is also downloadable information for consumers in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Punjabi, Hindi, and Arabic.
• Ddrops® products have been awarded patents in numerous countries worldwide, including the United States, Canada, and Europe.

There are a few other brands of concentrated vitamin D for infants that do not incorporate the same safety features we use for Ddrops®. This is why Ddrops® brand products are often recommended by healthcare professionals and experienced parents. Choose your products carefully and always take time to read and research the dosing and administration.
