How it works
Albencare 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.

Frequently asked questions
How can I know that my child is having a worm infection?
A possible worm infection might be indicated by your child complaining of an itchy bottom (rectal area), difficulty sitting, fatigue, restless sleep due to anal itching, and persistent stomach pain with loss of appetite or frequent indigestion. Another sign is pica, where you may notice your child eating inedible substances like mud. Please consult your child's doctor if you observe any of these signs. The doctor might suggest collecting stool and blood samples from your child on three different days for examination. Based on the test results, the doctor will determine the treatment and prescribe appropriate medicine for your child.
What is the best time to give Albencare Plus Oral Suspension to my child?
Albencare Plus Oral Suspension can be given at any time of day; just remember to administer it with a fat-containing food like milk.
How can my child become infected with intestinal worms?
Contaminated soil, often in areas with poor sanitation, can harbor worm eggs. Playing in such contaminated soil may also result in infection. After returning home from playing outdoors, ensure your child washes their hands thoroughly using soap and water. Drinking contaminated water or consuming contaminated vegetables and fruits without washing or peeling is another route of transmission.
How should I store my child’s medicine?
Store Albencare Plus Oral Suspension at room temperature in a cool, dry place, away from the reach of children and pets. Do not freeze the medication.
When should I call my child’s doctor right away?
Contact your child's doctor immediately if they experience vision problems, puffy eyes, severe itching all over their body or face, trouble walking or standing, difficulty breathing, fast heart rate. It is crucial to seek medical attention if your child feels disoriented or confused, exhibits loss of bowel control, or complains of neck pain shortly after taking Albencare Plus Oral Suspension.
