Introduction

Vexbenda 1.5mg/200mg 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. This medication is a combination of Ivermectin and Albendazole, which work together to effectively eliminate the worms. While generally safe, it is important to monitor for any signs of allergic reactions or liver problems and consult a doctor immediately if such symptoms occur.

Administer the oral suspension as prescribed by your child's doctor. Ensure the correct dosage is given and follow the doctor's instructions carefully.

Vexbenda 1.5mg/200mg 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.

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.
