Key Information
Short Description
Biobend Oral Suspension is a medicine used to treat parasitic worm infections in children.
Dosage Form
Oral Suspension
Introduction
Biobend 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.
Safety Information
Side Effects
No common side effects listed.
Interacting Medicines
Estradiol Tibolone Estriol Carbamazepine
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. Biobend 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, 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 you tell if a child has a worm infection?
If your child experiences persistent anal itching or discomfort while sitting, accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, restless sleep, loss of appetite, frequent indigestion, and pica (eating inedible substances like mud), it may indicate a worm infestation. Consult your child's doctor immediately if you notice any of these signs.
How can a child become infected with intestinal worms?
Children are often heavily infected due to poor sanitation. Transmission can occur through contaminated water, food, and soil that harbor the eggs of intestinal worms. Playing in contaminated soil can also lead to infection. Ensure your child washes their hands thoroughly after playing.
What is deworming?
Deworming refers to the process of eliminating worms from the body. Biobend Oral Suspension is a commonly used treatment for children.
Can other medications be given with Biobend Oral Suspension?
Medications intended to relieve pain and fever can usually be taken alongside Biobend Oral Suspension, unless instructed otherwise by your child's doctor. However, some medications should not be combined with Biobend Oral Suspension due to potential side effects, so consult your child's doctor before co-administering any other medicines.
When is the best time to give Biobend Oral Suspension to a child?
