Introduction
StayHappi Albendazole Oral Suspension is a medication used to treat a range of parasitic worm infections in children. It works by restraining the worms from absorbing essential nutrients, causing them to lose energy and eventually die. The dead worms are then removed from the child's body through stool. This medication is available in an oral suspension form and is typically given with a fat-containing food such as milk to enhance absorption. It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage strictly and complete the treatment as stopping abruptly may lead to re-infection.
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 treatment 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. StayHappi Albendazole 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 treatment as stopping abruptly may lead to re-infection. Worm infections are easily spread between family members. So, 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 your child to wash their hands with soap and water every time they use the toilet, trimming your child's nails frequently, and maintaining a neat space and hygiene around your child.

Frequently asked questions
How can I know if my child has a worm infection?
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 could indicate a worm infestation. Another sign of worm infection is pica - you may notice your child eating inedible substances like mud. Please consult your child's doctor immediately if you notice any of these symptoms in your child. The doctor may ask for your child’s stool and blood samples on three different days for examination. Depending on the report, the doctor will decide upon treatment and prescribe medication.
How can my child become infected with intestinal worms?
Children are most commonly affected by intestinal worm infections. The infection is often transmitted from eggs of worms present in human feces that contaminate soil in areas with poor sanitation. Transmission can occur by drinking contaminated water or by eating contaminated fruits and vegetables without washing or peeling. Your child may also get infected by playing in the soil that contains the eggs of worms. When your child returns home after playing, ensure they clean up using soap and water.
What is deworming?
Deworming is the process of killing and expelling worms from the body. StayHappi Albendazole Oral Suspension is a commonly prescribed medication for de-worming in children.
