Usually, it is given as a single dose. Your child’s doctor may prescribe repeating this dose after two weeks to prevent re-infection. However, some specific types of infections may require you to give this medicine to your child for a few days to weeks. In such a case, you must give your child this medicine for the exact prescribed number of days because stopping this medicine too soon may cause re-infection.

Basic Information

Mechanism Of Action

Before taking this medicine, let the doctor know if your child has had any previous episodes of medicine allergy, seizures, liver impairment, kidney malfunction, stomach problem, or blood disorder. This information is critical for dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.

Pharmacokinets

Albendazole is used as a broad spectrum anthelminthic which acts by blocking glucose uptake in the parasite and depletion of its glycogen stores. It causes selective degeneration of cytoplasmic microtubules in intestinal and tegmental cells of intestinal helminthes and larvae. Intracellular microtubules in the cells of the worm are gradually lost. The drug binds to beta tubulin of susceptible worms with high affinity and inhibits its polymerization. Single dose treatment is effective against Ascaris, Hook worm, and Enterobius. It is superior to Mebendazole for treatment of Hydatid worm, and strongyloidosis. It is also used in the treatment of tape worms, Filariasis, and Trichuriasis.

How To Use

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. Abz 200mg 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.

FAQs

Q. How can I know that my child is having a worm infection?

If your child complains of an itchy bottom (rectal area), difficulty sitting, fatigue, and restless sleep due to anal itching or persistent stomach pain with loss of appetite or frequent indigestion, it might indicate worm infestation. Another sign of worm infection is pica in which you may notice your child eating inedible substances such as mud. Speak to your child’s doctor as soon as you notice any of these in your child. The doctor may ask for your child’s stool and blood samples on 3 different days for examination. Depending upon the reports, the doctor will decide upon the treatment and prescribe your child with medicine.

Q. How can my child become infected with intestinal worms?

Children typically harbor the highest intensity of infection. The infection can be transmitted from the eggs of worms present in human feces which contaminate soil in areas with poor sanitation. Transmission can occur by drinking contaminated water or by eating contaminated vegetables and fruits without washing or peeling. Your child may also get infected by playing in the soil that is contaminated with the eggs of the worms. When your child returns home after playing, ask them to clean up using soap and water.
