Albesan 200mg Oral Suspension is effective against a range of parasitic worm infections in children. Albesan 200mg Oral Suspension is effective against a range of parasitic worm infections in children. It restrains the worms from absorbing the body's essential nutrients, causing them to lose their energy and leading to their eventual death. The dead worms are then removed from your child's body through the stool.
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. Albesan 200mg Oral 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.
How can I identify if my child has a worm infection?
If your child exhibits symptoms such as an itchy bottom, difficulty sitting, fatigue, restless sleep due to anal itching, persistent stomach pain with loss of appetite or frequent indigestion, or pica (eating inedible substances), it may indicate a worm infestation. Consult your child's doctor immediately if you notice any of these signs. The doctor may request stool and blood samples on three separate days for examination. Based on the test results, the doctor will determine the appropriate treatment and prescribe medication.
How can my child contract intestinal worms?
Children are typically more susceptible to infection. The infection can be transmitted through the eggs of worms present in human feces that contaminate soil in areas with poor sanitation. Transmission can occur by drinking contaminated water or eating unpeeled or unwashed fruits and vegetables. Your child may also become infected by playing in soil contaminated with worm eggs. When your child returns home, remind them to wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water.
What does deworming mean?
Deworming is the process of killing and expelling worms from the body. Albesan 200mg Oral Suspension is a commonly used medication for deworming treatment in children.
Can other medicines be given with Albesan 200mg Oral Suspension?

To minimize the risk of side effects, consult your child's doctor before giving any other medications.
What is the best time to give Albesan 200mg Oral Suspension to my child?
