Bendal 200mg Oral Suspension is a medication used to treat parasitic worm infections in children.
Oral Suspension
Bendal 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.
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.
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. Bendal 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.
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.
Signs of a worm infestation in children include itchy anal areas (rectal), difficulty sitting, fatigue, restless sleep due to anal itching, persistent stomach pain, loss of appetite or frequent indigestion. Additionally, pica, the desire to eat inedible substances like mud, may be observed. Consult your child's doctor immediately if you notice any of these symptoms. A stool and blood sample will be taken by the doctor to confirm the diagnosis. Depending on the results, the doctor will determine the treatment plan, including prescribed medication.
Children are highly susceptible to parasitic worm infections. The infection typically occurs when human feces containing worm eggs contaminate soil in areas lacking proper sanitation. This contamination can occur through contaminated water or food, including fruits and vegetables that have not been washed or peeled. Additionally, children may get infected by playing in dirt that contains worm eggs. Ensure your child washes their hands thoroughly after playing outdoors to minimize exposure.
Deworming involves killing and removing parasites from the body. Bendal 200mg Oral Suspension is a commonly used medication for treating children's intestinal worm infections.
