How it works
Pinban Oral Suspension is a mixture of two medicines: Ivermectin and Albendazole. Ivermectin works by binding to the muscle and nerve cells of worms causing their paralysis and death. Albendazole 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 effectively.
Quick Tips
Do not share your child's medicines with others and do not give anyone else's medicine to your child. 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. Do not give raw or undercooked food to your child. Always 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. Call your child's doctor right away if the child exhibits signs of allergic reaction like rash, itching, or any other sign of infection such as fever, gum-bleeding, black or red stools, and blood in urine or vomit. This medicine is known to elevate the levels of liver enzymes. So do not delay connecting with your child's doctor in case 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 a worm infection in my child?
Look out for symptoms such as an itchy bottom, difficulty sitting, fatigue, restless sleep due to anal itching, and persistent stomach pain with loss of appetite or frequent indigestion. You may also notice pica behavior, where your child eats non-food items like mud. Consult your child's doctor immediately if you notice any of these signs. The doctor might recommend collecting stool and blood samples for examination, which will help determine the best course of treatment.
What is the ideal time to administer Pinban Oral Suspension to my child?
You can give Pinban Oral Suspension at any time of day, but it's recommended that you administer it with a fat-containing food, such as milk, to improve absorption.
How does a child become infected with intestinal worms?
Intestinal worm infections can occur when children come into contact with contaminated soil or water while playing in areas with poor sanitation. This can also happen through consuming unwashed vegetables and fruits or drinking contaminated water. Ensure your child washes their hands thoroughly with soap and water after playing to minimize the risk of transmission.
How should I store Pinban Oral Suspension?
To maintain efficacy, store Pinban Oral Suspension at room temperature in a cool, dry place out of reach of children and pets. Avoid freezing the medicine as this can compromise its potency.
When should I contact my child's doctor urgently?
Reach out to your child's doctor immediately if you notice any severe or unusual symptoms such as vision problems, puffy eyes, severe itching all over the body, difficulty walking or standing, trouble breathing, fast heart rate, disorientation, loss of bowel control, or neck pain following administration of Pinban Oral Suspension.
