Key Information
Short Description
Albenz 200mg Oral Suspension is a medication used to treat parasitic worm infections in children.
Dosage Form
Oral Suspension
Introduction
Albenz 200mg Oral 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. Albenz 200mg 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.
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 tell 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 is pica where your child may be eating inedible substances like mud. Consult your child's doctor immediately if you notice any of these symptoms in your child. The doctor might require stool and blood samples on three different days for examination. Based on the report, they will determine the treatment plan and prescribe the appropriate medicine for your child.
How can my child get infected with intestinal worms?
Children often have the highest risk of infection. The infection can be transmitted from worm eggs present in human feces that contaminate soil in areas with poor sanitation. Transmission can occur by drinking contaminated water or consuming contaminated fruits and vegetables without washing or peeling them. Your child might also get infected by playing in contaminated soil. Ask your child to clean up after playing using soap and water when they come home.
