The usage of dietary supplements for children is increasing, but because of the mild regulations and the overall impression that dietary supplements are safe, we should approach them with precaution. The goal of this research is to get an insight on how well parents are informed about dietary supplements for children, their stands on safety and efficacy of those products and habits concerning dosing and usage with other medications. In that purpose a form of survey was used, with total of 415 questionnaires obtained from 17 cities and 7 municipalities. On the basis of received surveys it can be concluded that the most often dietary supplements for children are cough syrups, probiotics and immune boosters. Half of the parents mostly or completely agree with the claims that these products are safe, effective, high-quality and useful. Most of the parents mostly or completely believe that the producers declare the ingredients of the product (57%), the methods of application and recommended dosage (68%), but only 40% mostly or completely agree that the producers declare potential adverse effects. Majority of parents don’t agree that exceeding the recommended dose can’t harm their child, but 26% of them still mostly or completely agree. Parents are well aware of the content of artificial colours in the products, and to a lesser extent with the content of alcohol and benzoate. More than half of the parent claim that it is important for them to be informed of the content of alcohol and benzoate, and 42% think the same for artificial colours. Over 75% of parents comply with the dosage instructions and use the enclosed dosing spoon, but at the same time half of them sometimes, often or regularly use cutlery instead. Most of the parents don’t apply dietary supplements if their child has vomited or had diminished intake of food and liquids, but they use them often with other pharmacotherapy. Almost half of them pay attention to the time of application of dietary supplements and medication. A large number of parents, 46% of them, claim that other people sometimes, often or regularly give their children dietary supplements, and 38% claim that they regularly do that only with prior agreement. The results of the survey point out that there is a need to better inform and instruct parents on the potential benefits and harms of dietary supplements for children.
