Introduction
Bandy Suspension is a medication used to treat various parasitic worm infections in children. It works by preventing the worms from absorbing essential nutrients, leading to their death and subsequent removal from the body through stool. This medication is generally well-tolerated, but it is important to follow the prescribed dosage and complete the treatment course to avoid re-infection. Some self-care measures and hygiene practices can help prevent the spread of worm infections among family members.
Directions for Use
Give this medicine to your child with a fat-containing food such as milk to enable better absorption. Follow the prescribed dosage strictly and complete the treatment course.
How it works
Bandy Suspension works by preventing the worms from absorbing sugar (glucose), depleting their energy levels, and causing their death. This helps in treating the worm infection in your child.
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. 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.

Frequently asked questions
How can I identify if my child has a worm infection?
If your child exhibits symptoms such as an itchy bottom, difficulty sitting, fatigue, restless sleep due to anal itching, persistent stomach pain with loss of appetite or frequent indigestion, or pica (eating inedible substances), it may indicate a worm infestation. Consult your child's doctor immediately if you notice any of these symptoms. The doctor may request stool and blood samples on three separate days for examination. Based on the test results, the doctor will determine the appropriate treatment and prescribe medication for your child.
How can my child contract intestinal worms?
Children are typically more susceptible to infection. The infection can be transmitted through the eggs of worms present in human feces that contaminate soil in areas with poor sanitation. Transmission can occur by drinking contaminated water, eating contaminated vegetables and fruits without washing or peeling, or playing in soil contaminated with worm eggs. When your child returns home after playing, ensure they clean up using soap and water.
What does deworming mean?
Deworming is the process of killing and expelling worms from the body. Bandy Suspension is a commonly used treatment for children.
Can other medicines be given with Bandy Suspension?
You can give your child pain relievers and fever reducers unless your doctor has advised against it. However, some medicines should not be taken with Bandy Suspension. To minimize the risk of side effects, consult your child's doctor before giving any other medications.
What is the best time to give Bandy Suspension to my child?
Bandy Suspension can be given at any time of day, but it is recommended to administer it with a fat-containing food, such as milk.
Who should not take Bandy Suspension?
Bandy Suspension should not be given to children with a known allergy to albendazole or similar medications like mebendazole or thiabendazole. Signs of an allergic reaction may include an itchy skin rash, shortness of breath, and swelling of the face or tongue. Inform your child's doctor about any medical conditions and medications your child is taking, as they may interact with or be affected by this medicine.
