Dosage Form

Oral Suspension

Introduction

Give this medicine to your child by mouth, preferably with a fat-containing food such as milk. This will help your child's body absorb this medicine better. In case your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking Abendol Oral Suspension, give the same dose again. The duration of the treatment depends on the type of worm your child is infected with. Usually, it is given as a single dose. Your child's doctor may prescribe repeating this dose after two weeks to prevent re-infection. However, some specific types of infections may require you to give this medicine to your child for a few days to weeks. In such a case, you must give your child this medicine for the exact prescribed number of days because stopping this medicine too soon may cause re-infection.

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Abendol Oral Suspension may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

Worms enter inside your child's body when your child eats or drinks something that's infected with a worm or its eggs. Once inside the body, these worms get attached to the inner walls of the intestines and can even enter other body organs. Abendol Oral 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.

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. In case your child is prescribed to take this medicine for a few days, make sure to complete the dosage as stopping abruptly may lead to re-infection. Worm infections are easily spread between family members. So, 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: Do not give raw or undercooked food to your child. Instead, give a balanced diet containing herbs, fruits, and spices of therapeutic value. Inform the doctor in case your child exhibits signs of allergic reaction like rash, itching, or any other sign of infection such as fever, blood in urine and vomit, bleeding from gums, or black, red, or tarry stools.
