Reviews about Centrum Children's

Everyone who has chosen Centrum Children's for their children often leaves positive reviews about it. Pediatricians often prescribe it, and children really like it.
In isolated cases, it is reported that taking this drug had to be stopped because the child began to complain of weakness and dizziness.
