Oral Suspension
Introduction
Vermikos Plus Oral Suspension is an anti-worm medicine given to treat a multitude of parasitic worm infestations such as roundworm and tapeworm infections in children. It works by paralyzing and restraining the worms from absorbing the body's energy, leading to their eventual death.
Directions for Use
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.
How it works
Vermikos Plus 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 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.

Possible signs of worm infection include an itchy bottom (rectal area), difficulty sitting, fatigue, restless sleep due to anal itching, persistent stomach pain with loss of appetite or frequent indigestion. Other concerning behaviors might include pica (eating inedible substances like dirt). If you notice any of these symptoms, consult your child's doctor as soon as possible. A stool and blood sample examination may be recommended by the doctor to confirm a diagnosis.
When is the best time to administer Vermikos Plus Oral Suspension to my child?

How can children become infected with intestinal worms?
Children may get infected with intestinal worms due to poor sanitation, leading to soil contamination with worm eggs. Playing in contaminated soil or drinking contaminated water are also potential transmission pathways. It's essential for your child to wash their hands thoroughly and the surfaces they touch after playing outside. Additionally, ensure proper washing of fruits and vegetables before consumption.
