Key Information
Short Description
Bendacon Oral Suspension is a medication used to treat parasitic worm infections in children.
Dosage Form
Oral Suspension
Introduction
Bendacon 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. Bendacon 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. 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.

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 might indicate a worm infestation. Another sign of worm infection is pica in which you may notice your child eating inedible substances such as mud. If you notice any of these symptoms, speak to your child's doctor immediately. The doctor may ask for your child's stool and blood samples on three different days for examination. Depending upon the reports, the doctor will decide upon the treatment and prescribe your child with medicine.
How can my child get infected with intestinal worms?
Children are more susceptible to worm infections due to their digestive system's development and hygiene. Transmission can occur through contaminated soil, where eggs from worms reside. These eggs contaminate water sources or food, leading to ingestion by your child. Contact with contaminated soil during outdoor play also poses a risk of infection when they return home and touch surfaces without proper hygiene.
What is deworming?
Deworming refers to the process of eliminating parasitic worms from the body. Bendacon Oral Suspension is commonly prescribed for deworming treatment in children.
Can I give other medications at the same time as Bendacon Oral Suspension?
You can administer over-the-counter pain relievers or fever reducers unless your child's doctor advises against it. However, certain medications may not be suitable to take with Bendacon Oral Suspension. Before administering any additional medication, consult your child's doctor to ensure their safety.
What is the best time to give Bendacon Oral Suspension?
Bendacon Oral Suspension can be administered at any time of day; however, it is recommended to take with a fat-containing food like milk for optimal absorption.
Who should not take Bendacon Oral Suspension?
Bendacon Oral Suspension should not be given to children with known allergies to albendazole or similar medications, such as mebendazole or thiabendazole. Signs of an allergic reaction may include a rash, shortness of breath, and swelling of the face or tongue. Before administering the medication, it's essential to inform your child's doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions. Also, disclose any other medications your child is taking for other health concerns as these could potentially interact with Bendacon Oral Suspension.
