Key Information
Short Description
Albax Suspension is a medication used to treat parasitic worm infections in children.
Dosage Form
Suspension
Introduction
Albax Suspension is effective against a range of parasitic worm infections in children. It restrains the worms from absorbing the body's essential nutrients, causing them to lose their energy and leading to their eventual death. The dead worms are then removed from your child's body through the stool.
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. 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.
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. Once inside the body, these worms get attached to the inner walls of the intestines and can even enter other body organs. Albax 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. Make sure to 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: Do not give raw or undercooked food to your child. Instead, give a balanced diet containing herbs, fruits, and spices of therapeutic value. Encourage your child to wash their hands with soap and water every time they use the toilet as that will help prevent cross-infection. Trim your child's nails frequently to disable any source of worm infection. Maintain a neat space and hygiene around your child.

Frequently asked questions
How can I know if my child has a worm infection?
If your child complains of an itchy bottom (rectal area), difficulty sitting, fatigue, and restless sleep due to anal itching or persistent stomach pain with loss of appetite or frequent indigestion, it may indicate a worm infestation. Another sign of a worm infection is pica, where your child may start eating inedible substances such as mud. Consult your child's doctor immediately if you notice any of these symptoms in your child. The doctor may ask for stool and blood samples collected on three different days for examination. Based on the reports, they will decide upon the treatment and prescribe your child with medicine.
How can my child become infected with intestinal worms?
Children are most susceptible to worm infection. The infection can be transmitted from worm eggs present in human feces contaminating soil in areas with poor sanitation. Transmission may occur through drinking contaminated water or by eating contaminated vegetables and fruits without washing or peeling. Your child may also get infected by playing in soil contaminated with the eggs of worms. Once your child returns home, ensure they clean up using soap and water.
What does deworming mean?
Deworming is the process of killing and expelling worms from the body. Albax Suspension is widely used for the treatment of intestinal worm infections in children.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Albax Suspension?
You can give your child pain and fever-relieving medications unless your doctor has advised against it. However, certain medications should not be given together with Albax Suspension to avoid side effects. Talk to your child's doctor before giving any other medications for their best outcome.
What is the best time to give Albax Suspension to my child?
Albax Suspension can be given at any time of the day, but it should always be taken with a fat-containing food such as milk.
Who should not take Albax Suspension?
Albax Suspension should not be given to children with known allergy to albendazole or any other similar medications like mebendazole or thiabendazole. Signs of an allergic reaction may include a rash, shortness of breath, and swelling of the face or tongue. Inform your child's doctor about their medical history. Also, let them know if your child is taking any other medicines for other conditions as they may affect or be affected by this medication.
