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. Wormbase 200mg 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. 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. 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. Maintain a neat space and hygiene around your child.

Frequently asked questions
How can I tell 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. Another sign of worm infection is pica, where you may notice your child eating inedible substances such as mud. If you see any of these symptoms in your child, speak to their doctor immediately. The doctor may ask for your child's stool and blood samples on 3 different days for examination. Depending upon the reports, the doctor will decide upon the treatment and prescribe your child with medicine.
How can my child get intestinal worms?
Children are most susceptible to worm infections. The infection is often transmitted from eggs of worms present in human feces contaminating soil in areas with poor sanitation. It can also be spread by drinking contaminated water or by eating contaminated vegetables and fruits without washing or peeling. If your child plays in contaminated soil, ensure they wash up afterwards using soap and water when returning home.
What does deworming mean?
Deworming is the process of killing and expelling worms from the body. Wormbase 200mg Oral Suspension is widely used for the deworming treatment for children.
