What Experts Say

Vitamin A deficiency remains a public health concern in parts of Pakistan, particularly among children from low income households with limited access to dairy, eggs, and green leafy vegetables. Pediatricians often recommend supplementation alongside gradual dietary improvement.

Pakistani health guidelines, aligned with World Health Organization recommendations, support periodic Vitamin A supplementation for children at risk of deficiency, since the vitamin plays a direct role in immune defense against measles and severe diarrhea. Correcting deficiency early also protects the eyes from long term damage.

Because Vitamin A can build up in the body when taken in excess, Pakistani pediatricians caution against giving more than the recommended dose without medical advice, especially in infants and toddlers. Regular growth monitoring during checkups helps confirm the supplement is working as intended.
