Introduction
Abd 200mg Suspension is a suspension that is effective against a range of parasitic worm infections in children. It works by restraining the worms from absorbing the body's essential nutrients, causing them to lose their energy and leading to their eventual death.
Directions for Use
Give this medicine to your child with a fat-containing food such as milk as it enables better absorption in the body. Follow the prescribed dosage strictly and complete the dosage as stopping abruptly may lead to re-infection.
How it works
Worms enter inside your child's body when your child eats or drinks something that's infected with a worm or its eggs. Abd 200mg Suspension works by keeping the worms from absorbing sugar (glucose), thereby depleting their energy level. This causes the worms to die, thereby treating your child's infection.
Quick Tips
Give this medicine to your child with a fat-containing food such as milk as it enables better absorption in the body. Follow the prescribed dosage strictly and complete the dosage as stopping abruptly may lead to re-infection. Worm infections are easily spread between family members. Your doctor may recommend treatment for all family members on the same day, whether or not they have any symptoms of infection. Some self-care measures include not giving raw or undercooked food to your child, encouraging them to wash their hands with soap and water every time they use the toilet, trimming their nails frequently, and maintaining a neat space and hygiene around them. Inform the doctor in case your child exhibits signs of allergic reaction or infection.

Frequently asked questions
How can I identify if my child has a worm infection?
If your child experiences persistent anal itching, difficulty sitting, fatigue, and restless sleep due to discomfort in the rectal area, it could indicate a potential worm infestation. Additionally, signs may include loss of appetite or frequent indigestion, as well as pica, where your child eats inedible substances such as mud. Consult with your child's doctor if you notice any of these symptoms. The doctor may request stool and blood samples for examination to determine the best course of treatment.
How can my child get infected with intestinal worms?
Children are often most susceptible to infection. Intestinal worms can be transmitted through contaminated soil, water, or food. Your child may become infected by playing in soil contaminated with worm eggs and then touching their mouth, nose, or other bodily orifices without proper hygiene practices such as washing hands and face thoroughly.
