Short Description
Zenworm 200mg Oral Suspension is an effective treatment for parasitic worm infections in children.
Dosage Form
Oral Suspension
Introduction
Zenworm 200mg Oral Suspension is a medication used to treat a range of parasitic worm infections in children. It works by restraining the worms from absorbing essential nutrients, causing them to lose energy and eventually die. The dead worms are then removed from the child's body through 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 and 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. Zenworm 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 and 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 include not giving raw or undercooked food to your child, encouraging them to wash their hands with soap and water every time they use the toilet, trimming their nails frequently, and maintaining a neat space and hygiene around them. Inform the doctor in case your child exhibits signs of allergic reaction or infection.

Frequently asked questions
How can I tell if my child has a worm infection?
If your child experiences symptoms such as an itchy bottom, difficulty sitting, fatigue, and restless sleep due to anal itching or persistent stomach pain with loss of appetite or frequent indigestion, it may indicate a worm infestation. Additionally, if you notice your child eating inedible substances like mud, it could be a sign of pica, which is often associated with worm infections. Consult your child's doctor immediately if you observe any of these symptoms. The doctor may request stool and blood samples on three different days for examination to determine the best course of treatment.
How can my child become infected with intestinal worms?
Children are often at a higher risk of infection. Intestinal worm infections can be transmitted through contaminated soil, which may contain human feces that have not been properly disposed of due to poor sanitation. Infection can occur when your child drinks water or eats vegetables and fruits without proper washing or peeling, or by playing in contaminated soil. To prevent infection, remind your child to thoroughly clean themselves with soap and water after playing outdoors.
