Description
Albenum Oral Suspension is an anti-worm medication used to treat various parasitic worm infections, including roundworm and tapeworm infestations, in children. It works by paralyzing the worms and preventing them from absorbing energy, which ultimately leads to their death.
Salt Composition:
Ivermectin (1.5 mg) + Albendazole (200 mg).
How to Use:
Administer Albenum Oral Suspension to your child by mouth, preferably with a fatty food like milk to aid in better absorption. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking the medicine, repeat the same dose. Do not double the dose if the next scheduled dose is near. Treatment duration varies depending on the type of worm infection, and a follow-up dose may be prescribed after two weeks to prevent re-infection. For certain infections, the medicine may need to be given for a few days or weeks, as prescribed by the doctor.
