Key Information
Short Description
Benmax Suspension is a medication used to treat parasitic worm infections in children.
Dosage Form
Suspension
Introduction
Benmax 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. Benmax 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
What are the signs and symptoms of a worm infection in children?
If your child complains of an itchy bottom (rectal area), difficulty sitting, fatigue, restless sleep due to anal itching or persistent stomach pain with loss of appetite or frequent indigestion, it might indicate worm infestation. Additionally, pica (eating inedible substances such as mud) can also be a sign of worm infection. Consult your child's doctor immediately if you notice any of these symptoms.
How is intestinal worm infection transmitted to children?
The infection can be transmitted from the eggs of worms present in human feces that contaminate soil in areas with poor sanitation. Transmission can occur by drinking contaminated water or eating contaminated vegetables and fruits without washing or peeling, as well as through contact with contaminated soil while playing.
What does deworming mean?
Deworming is the process of killing and expelling worms from the body. Benmax Suspension is a commonly used medication for deworming treatment in children.
Can other medications be given with Benmax Suspension?
You can give your child pain relievers and fever reducers unless advised otherwise by your doctor, but some medications should not be taken with Benmax Suspension. To avoid potential side effects, consult your child's doctor before administering any other medicines.
What is the best time to administer Benmax Suspension?
Benmax Suspension can be given at any time of day as long as it is accompanied by a fat-containing food such as milk.
Who should not take Benmax Suspension?
Children with known allergies to albendazole or similar medications (mebendazole or thiabendazole) in the past should not be given Benmax Suspension. Signs of an allergic reaction include itchy skin rash, shortness of breath, and swelling of the face or tongue. Inform your doctor about all medical conditions and other medications before administering this medicine.
