Description
Abd 200mg Suspension is an effective treatment for various parasitic worm infections in children. It works by inhibiting the worms from absorbing essential nutrients from the body, leading to their depletion of energy and eventual death. The dead worms are subsequently expelled from your child’s body through their stool.
Salt Composition
Albendazole (200 mg)
How to Use
Administer this suspension orally to your child, preferably alongside a fat-containing food, such as milk, to enhance absorption. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking the dose, you can repeat the same dose. The duration of treatment may vary based on the type of worm infection. Generally, it is given as a single dose, but a follow-up dose may be prescribed by the doctor after two weeks to prevent re-infection. Some infections may require administration over a few days to weeks; in such cases, it is crucial to complete the entire course to prevent re-infection.
