Description
Abendol Plus Syrup is an anti-worm medication used to treat various parasitic worm infections, including roundworm and tapeworm, particularly in children. It works by paralyzing and inhibiting the worms, which prevents them from absorbing nutrients, eventually leading to their elimination from the body.
Salt Composition
Ivermectin (1.5 mg/5 ml) + Albendazole (200 mg/5 ml)
How to Use
Administer Abendol Plus Syrup orally to your child, ideally with a fat-containing food like milk, as this improves absorption. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking the dose, you may give the same dose again. Avoid doubling the dose if the next dose is near. The prescribed duration varies based on the type of worm infection, but it is often given as a single dose. In some cases, the doctor may recommend a repeat dose after two weeks to prevent reinfection.
