Key Information
Short Description
Almix 200mg Suspension is a medication used to treat parasitic worm infections in children.
Dosage Form
Suspension
Introduction
Almix 200mg 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. Almix 200mg 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, encourage your child to wash their hands with soap and water every time they use the toilet, trim your child's nails frequently, maintain a neat space and hygiene around your child, and inform the doctor in case your child exhibits signs of allergic reaction or infection.

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 worm infection is pica, in which you may notice your child eating inedible substances like mud. Consult your child's doctor immediately if you notice any of these signs in your child. The doctor might ask for stool and blood samples on three different days to examine for parasites.
How can my child become infected with intestinal worms?
Children are particularly susceptible to worm infections due to the high intensity of infection. These infections can be transmitted from the eggs of worms present in human feces contaminating soil in areas with poor sanitation. Transmission can occur through drinking contaminated water or eating contaminated vegetables and fruits without washing or peeling. Your child may also get infected by playing in soil contaminated with the eggs of the worms. When your child returns home after playing, encourage them to clean up using soap and water.
What does 'deworming' mean?
Deworming is the process of killing and expelling worms from the body. Almix 200mg Suspension is commonly used for de-worming treatment in children.
Can other medicines be taken at the same time as Almix 200mg Suspension?
