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

Frequently asked questions
How can I identify a possible worm infection in my child?
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. Additionally, signs like pica (eating inedible substances such as mud) may also be present. Consult your child's doctor immediately if you notice any of these symptoms.
How can my child become infected with intestinal worms?
Children are typically most susceptible to infection. The infection is often transmitted through contaminated soil, water, or food. This can occur when playing in the soil without proper hygiene, drinking untreated water, or consuming unwashed fruits and vegetables. Ensure your child practices good hygiene by washing hands and face after playing outside.
What does deworming mean?
Deworming refers to the process of eliminating worms from the body. Seriworm Suspension is a commonly used treatment for deworming in children.
Can other medicines be given with Seriworm Suspension?
Your child can take pain-relieving and fever-reducing medications unless specifically instructed not to by their doctor. However, there are some medications that should not be taken with Seriworm Suspension. Consult your child's doctor before administering any additional medication.
What is the best time to administer Seriworm Suspension?
Seriworm Suspension can be given at any time of day, as long as it is accompanied by a fat-containing food like milk.
Who should not take Seriworm Suspension?
Children with known allergies to albendazole or similar medications (mebendazole or thiabendazole) in the past should not take Seriworm Suspension. Signs of an allergic reaction include itchy skin rash, shortness of breath, and swelling of the face or tongue. Inform your child's doctor about any medical conditions or other medications they are taking.
