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. Wormzip 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. 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, persistent stomach pain with loss of appetite or frequent indigestion, or pica (eating inedible substances), it may indicate a worm infestation. Consult your child's doctor immediately if you notice any of these symptoms. The doctor may request stool and blood samples on three separate 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, eating contaminated vegetables and fruits without washing or peeling, or by playing in soil contaminated with worm eggs. When your child returns home after playing, ensure they clean up using soap and water.
What does deworming mean?
Deworming is the process of killing and expelling worms from the body. Wormzip 200mg Oral Suspension is a widely used medication for deworming treatment in children.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Wormzip 200mg Oral Suspension?
You can give your child pain relievers and fever reducers unless your doctor has advised against it. However, there are some medicines that should not be taken with Wormzip 200mg Oral Suspension. To minimize the risk of side effects, consult your child's doctor before giving any other medications.
What is the best time to give Wormzip 200mg Oral Suspension to my child?
