Key Information
Short Description
Womiban 200mg Suspension is a medication used to treat parasitic worm infections in children.
Dosage Form
Suspension
Introduction
Womiban 200mg 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. Womiban 200mg 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, encourage your child to wash their hands with soap and water every time they use the toilet, trim your child's nails frequently, maintain a neat space and hygiene around your child, and inform the doctor in case your child exhibits signs of allergic reaction or infection.

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 might indicate a worm infestation. Other signs include pica in which you may notice your child eating inedible substances like mud. It's crucial to consult your child's doctor immediately if you notice any of these symptoms. The doctor may ask for stool and blood samples from your child on three different days for examination. Based on the results, the doctor will decide on treatment and prescribe a suitable medication for your child.
How can my child become infected with intestinal worms?
Children are most likely to be infected. The infection is transmitted from worm eggs present in human feces contaminating soil in areas with poor sanitation. Transmission can occur through drinking contaminated water or by eating contaminated vegetables and fruits without washing or peeling. Your child may also get infected by playing in the soil that contains worm eggs. After play, ensure your child washes thoroughly with soap and water.
What is deworming?
Deworming refers to killing and expelling worms from the body. Womiban 200mg Suspension is widely used for dewormer treatment for children.
