Introduction
Albeworm-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.
How it works
Albeworm-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.

Frequently asked questions
How can I know that my child is having a worm infection?

Another sign is pica, where you may notice your child eating inedible substances like mud. Seek immediate medical advice from your child's doctor if any of these symptoms appear. The doctor may suggest collecting a stool sample and blood sample on three different days for examination to confirm the diagnosis. Based on the reports, they will determine appropriate treatment using medication.
