Product Details
- Name: Albendazole Oral Suspension
- How It Works: It is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic (anti-worm) medication. It works by preventing the worms from absorbing glucose (sugar), which is their primary source of energy. This causes the parasites to lose energy, become paralyzed, and eventually die, after which they are passed out of the body naturally.
- Form: Oral Suspension (Liquid Syrup), typically in a 200mg/5ml concentration.
- Warning:
- Pregnancy: Do not use during pregnancy as it can cause serious harm to the unborn baby; women should ensure they are not pregnant before starting treatment.
- Age: Not recommended for infants under 1 year of age; children aged 1–2 years usually require a specific reduced dose.
- Side Effects: May cause temporary stomach pain, nausea, or headache.
- Administration: For certain types of infections, it is most effective when taken with a fatty meal.
- Long-term use: If used for extended periods for systemic infections, regular monitoring of liver function and blood counts is required.
