Key Information
Short Description
Wormy 200mg Oral Suspension is a treatment for parasitic worm infections in children.
Dosage Form
Oral Suspension
Introduction
Wormy 200mg Oral 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. Wormy 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. 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 persistent anal itching, difficulty sitting, fatigue, and restless sleep due to anal irritation, or stomach pain with loss of appetite or frequent indigestion, it may indicate a worm infestation. Additionally, if you notice your child eating non-food items like mud, this could be a sign of pica, which can be associated with worm infection. Consult your child's doctor immediately if you observe any of these symptoms.
How is intestinal worm infection transmitted to children?
Children are often heavily infected with worms. The infection can be spread through eggs present in human feces that contaminate soil in areas with poor sanitation. Transmission can occur by drinking contaminated water or eating unpeeled, unwashed fruits and vegetables that contain the eggs of the worms. Your child may also get infected by playing in soil contaminated with worm eggs. When your child returns home after playing, remind them to wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water.
