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

Frequently asked questions
How can I tell 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, where you may notice your child eating inedible substances like mud. Consult your child’s doctor as soon as you observe any of these symptoms in your child. The doctor may need to collect stool and blood samples on three different days for examination. Based on the reports, they will decide upon treatment and prescribe medication for your child.
How can my child get intestinal worms?
Children are most susceptible to worm infection. The infection can spread through worm eggs present in human feces that contaminate soil in areas with poor sanitation. It can also occur by drinking contaminated water or eating unwashed vegetables and fruits. Finally, playing in the soil contaminated with worm eggs can contribute to infection. Always ask your child to clean up properly using soap and water after coming back from outdoor play.
What does deworming mean?
Deworming refers to the process of eliminating worms from the body. Kexorm Suspension is commonly prescribed for dewormer treatment in children.
Can other medicines be given with Kexorm Suspension at the same time?
You can give your child pain-relieving or fever-reducing medications unless your doctor has advised otherwise. However, there are certain medications that should not be given with Kexorm Suspension. To avoid any potential side effects, always talk to your child’s doctor before administering any other medications alongside Kexorm Suspension.
What is the best time to give Kexorm Suspension?
Kexorm Suspension can be given at any time of day; just ensure you administer it with a fatty-containing food like milk. Always consult your doctor for more information.
Who should not take Kexorm Suspension?
Kexorm Suspension is contraindicated in children with known allergies to albendazole, mebendazole, or thiabendazole. It can trigger allergic reactions such as skin rashes, breathing difficulties, and swelling of the face or tongue. Consult your doctor before administering this medication if your child has any pre-existing medical conditions. Ensure they inform the doctor about all other medications your child is taking for other conditions as potential interactions may occur.
