Short Description

Dosage Form
Oral Suspension
Introduction
Alben-Plus Oral Suspension is an anti-worm medicine given to treat a multitude of parasitic worm infestations such as roundworm and tapeworm infections in children. It works by paralyzing and restraining the worms from absorbing the body's energy, leading to their eventual death.
Directions for Use
Do not share your child's medicines with others and do not give anyone else's medicine to your child. 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.
How it works
Alben-Plus Oral Suspension is a mixture of two medicines: Ivermectin and Albendazole. Ivermectin works by binding to the muscle and nerve cells of worms, causing their paralysis and death. Albendazole 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 effectively.
Quick Tips
Do not give raw or undercooked food to your child. Always 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. Call your child's doctor right away if the child exhibits signs of allergic reaction like rash, itching, or any other sign of infection such as fever, gum-bleeding, black or red stools, and blood in urine or vomit.

Frequently asked questions
How can I know that my child is having a worm infection?
Signs of a possible worm infection in children may include: frequent itching in the anal area, difficulty sitting comfortably, fatigue, restless sleep due to anal itching, persistent stomach pain with loss of appetite or frequent indigestion. If your child exhibits pica (eating inedible substances like dirt), it could be a sign of infestation as well. It is important to consult your child's doctor immediately if you notice any of these symptoms in your child. The doctor may need to collect stool and blood samples on three different days for examination. Treatment will depend on the results and prescribed medication will be recommended.
What is the best time to give Alben-Plus Oral Suspension to my child?
Alben-Plus Oral Suspension can be given at any time of day, preferably along with a meal containing fat such as milk.
How can my child become infected with intestinal worms?
Intestinal worm infection is commonly caused by soil that contains eggs from these parasites. Contaminated areas may have soil that is contaminated with worm eggs, and your child may also get infected while playing in such areas. After returning home after playing, encourage your child to wash their hands thoroughly using soap and water. Transmission can occur through drinking contaminated water or consuming unwashed vegetables and fruits.
How should I store my child’s medicine?
Store Alben-Plus Oral Suspension at room temperature in a cool, dry place away from the reach of children and pets to prevent accidental intake. Do not freeze the medication.
When should I call my child’s doctor right away?
You need to contact your child's doctor immediately if they experience vision problems, puffy eyes, severe itching all over the body, or difficulty walking or standing. If your child exhibits trouble breathing, fast heart rate or feels disoriented or confused after taking Alben-Plus Oral Suspension, it's crucial to seek medical advice.
