Key Information
Short Description
Odal 200mg Suspension is a treatment for parasitic worm infections in children, effective against a range of infections by restraining worms from absorbing essential nutrients, leading to their eventual death.
Dosage Form
Suspension
Introduction
Odal 200mg Suspension is a suspension medication used to treat parasitic worm infections in children. It works by restraining the worms from absorbing the body's essential nutrients, causing them to lose their energy and eventually die. The dead worms are then removed from the child's body through 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. Odal 200mg 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 infection.

Frequently asked questions
How can I identify if my child has a parasitic worm infection?
If your child experiences symptoms like persistent itching in the anal area, difficulty sitting, fatigue, restless sleep due to anal itching, or chronic stomach pain along with loss of appetite or frequent indigestion, it might suggest a possible worm infection. Additionally, observe if your child is showing signs of pica (eating inedible materials such as mud). If you notice any of these symptoms in your child, consult your doctor immediately. They may request stool and blood samples from your child for analysis on three different days to confirm the diagnosis. Based on the results, the doctor will then decide on the appropriate treatment plan and prescribe medication.
How do children get infected with intestinal worms?
Children are most susceptible to parasitic worm infections, typically contracting them through exposure to contaminated soil or environments. These infections can be transmitted when human feces containing worm eggs contaminate the soil in poorly maintained sanitation areas. Drinking contaminated water or consuming unwashed and unpeeled fruits and vegetables also increases the risk of infection. Finally, your child may become infected by playing in contaminated soil before returning home, where they should be thoroughly cleaned using soap and water.
What does deworming refer to?
Deworming refers to the process of eliminating parasites from the body. Odal 200mg Suspension is often prescribed for deworming children.
Can other medicines be given concurrently with Odal 200mg Suspension?
You can administer your child's pain and fever relievers unless the doctor advises otherwise. However, certain medications may not be compatible with Odal 200mg Suspension. To ensure safety, it is crucial to consult your doctor before administering any additional medicines to your child.

If your child experiences any signs of an allergic reaction like a rash, breathing difficulties, or swelling in the face or tongue, seek immediate medical attention.
