Introduction
Avoban 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. Avoban 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, 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 experiences symptoms like 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 could indicate a worm infestation. Another sign is pica, where your child might eat inedible substances such as mud. Contact your child's doctor immediately if you observe any of these symptoms. The doctor may request stool and blood samples on three different days for examination. Based on the results, the doctor will determine the treatment and prescribe medication for your child.
How can my child get infected with intestinal worms?
Children are most likely to become infected. The infection spreads from worm eggs present in human feces that contaminate soil in areas lacking proper sanitation. Transmission can occur through drinking contaminated water or by eating unwashed or unpeeled vegetables and fruits. Your child may also be infected if they play in soil that contains worm eggs. After your child returns home from playing, encourage them to clean themselves using soap and water.
What is deworming?
Deworming is the process of killing and expelling worms from the body. Avoban 200mg Oral Suspension is commonly used for treating children's worm infections.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Avoban 200mg Oral Suspension?
You can give your child medicines intended for pain relief or fever reduction unless your doctor has instructed you not to.
