Key Information
Short Description
Worm Lock 200mg Suspension is a treatment for parasitic worm infections in children.
Dosage Form
Suspension
Introduction
Worm Lock 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. Worm Lock 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. 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 if my child has a worm infection?
If your child experiences symptoms such as an itchy bottom, difficulty sitting, fatigue, restless sleep due to anal itching or persistent stomach pain with loss of appetite or frequent indigestion, it may indicate a worm infestation. Additionally, signs of pica, where your child eats inedible substances like mud, may also be a sign of infection. Consult your child's doctor immediately if you notice any of these symptoms. The doctor may request stool and blood samples on three different days for examination. Based on the test results, the doctor will determine the appropriate treatment and prescribe medication.
How can my child become infected with intestinal worms?
Children are typically more susceptible to infection. The infection can be transmitted through the eggs of worms present in human feces that contaminate soil in areas with poor sanitation. Transmission can occur by drinking contaminated water or eating contaminated vegetables and fruits without washing or peeling. Your child may also become infected by playing in soil contaminated with worm eggs. When your child returns home after playing, ensure they clean up using soap and water.
