Key Information
Short Description
Alzea 200mg Oral Suspension is a treatment for parasitic worm infections in children.
Dosage Form
Oral Suspension
Introduction
Alzea 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.
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. Alzea 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. 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. 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. Inform the doctor in case your child exhibits signs of allergic reaction like rash, itching, or any other sign of infection such as fever, blood in urine or vomit, bleeding from gums, or black, red, or tarry stools.

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 a worm infection is pica, where you may notice your child eating inedible substances such as mud. Consult your child's doctor immediately if you observe any of these symptoms in your child. The doctor may request stool and blood samples on three different days for examination. Based on the results, the doctor will determine treatment options and prescribe medication for your child.
How can my child become infected with intestinal worms?
Children are most often affected by intestinal worm infections. These infections are transmitted from worm eggs found in human feces that contaminate soil in areas with poor sanitation. Transmission can occur through drinking contaminated water or by eating contaminated vegetables and fruits without washing or peeling. Your child may also become infected by playing in the soil where worm eggs have been present. When your child returns home after playing, ensure they wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water to prevent contamination.
What is deworming?
Deworming refers to the process of killing and expelling worms from the body. Alzea 200mg Oral Suspension is commonly used for deworming treatment in children.
