Key Information
Short Description
Conwon Oral Suspension is a medication used to treat parasitic worm infections in children.

Introduction
Conwon 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.

No common side effects listed
Interacting Medicines

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. Conwon 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. 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. 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. Inform the doctor in case your child exhibits signs of allergic reaction like rash, itching, or any other sign of infection such as fever, blood in urine or vomit, bleeding from gums, or black, red, or tarry stools. This medicine is known to elevate the levels of liver enzymes. Let the doctor know if your child exhibits any signs of a liver problem like dark urine, tiredness, upset stomach, light-colored stools, or yellow skin or eyes.

Frequently asked questions
How can I identify if my child has a worm infection?
If your child experiences 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 become infected with 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 or eating contaminated vegetables and fruits without washing or peeling. Your child may also become infected by 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. Conwon Oral Suspension is a widely used treatment for deworming in children.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Conwon Oral 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 Conwon Oral Suspension. To minimize the risk of side effects, consult your child's doctor before giving any other medications to your child.
What is the best time to give Conwon Oral Suspension to my child?
Conwon Oral Suspension can be given at any time of the day, but it is recommended to administer it with a fat-containing food, such as milk.
Who should not take Conwon Oral Suspension?
Conwon Oral Suspension should not be given to children with a known allergy to albendazole or similar medicines 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 your child has and any other medications they are taking, as they may interact with Conwon Oral Suspension.
