Introduction
Megmabend 200mg Oral Suspension is a medication used to treat a range of parasitic worm infections in children. It is an effective treatment that works by restraining 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 the 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 and 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. Megmabend 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.
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 and 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 include not giving raw or undercooked food to your child, encouraging them to wash their hands with soap and water every time they use the toilet, trimming their nails frequently, and maintaining a neat space and hygiene around them. Inform the doctor in case your child exhibits signs of allergic reaction or any other sign of infection.
