Introduction
Nuzole 100mg Tablet 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 then get 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 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. Nuzole 100mg Tablet works by keeping the worms from absorbing sugar (glucose), thereby depleting their energy level. This causes the worms to die, following which the medicine fosters the removal of these dead worms through stools. This helps treat 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. The doctor may recommend treatment for all family members on the same day, whether or not they have any symptoms of infection. All family members must be cautious and take extra care with hygiene measures for at least 6 weeks after the 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 an allergic reaction after taking the medicine.
Frequently asked questions
How can I identify if my child has a worm infection?
Symptoms of worm infestations in children may include anal itching or discomfort, difficulty sitting, fatigue, restless sleep, persistent stomach pain with loss of appetite or frequent indigestion, and pica (eating non-food items like mud). If you notice any of these symptoms, consult your child's doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.
How can my child become infected with intestinal worms?
Children are often heavily infected. The infection is transmitted through contaminated soil or water in areas with poor sanitation. This happens when eggs from human feces contaminate the environment. Your child may get infected by drinking contaminated water, eating unwashed or unpeeled vegetables and fruits, or playing in soil contaminated with worm eggs.
What does deworming mean?
Deworming is the process of eliminating worms from the body. Nuzole 100mg Tablet is commonly used for deworming treatment in children under two years old.
