Alzea 200mg Oral Suspension is a treatment for parasitic worm infections in children. Alzea 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. Alzea 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 know if my child has 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 may indicate a worm infestation. Another sign of a worm infection is pica, where you may notice your child eating inedible substances such as mud. Consult your child's doctor immediately if you observe any of these symptoms in your child. The doctor may request stool and blood samples on three different days for examination. Based on the results, the doctor will determine treatment options and prescribe medication for your child.
How can my child become infected with intestinal worms?
Children are most often affected by intestinal worm infections. These infections are transmitted from worm eggs found in human feces that contaminate soil in areas with poor sanitation. Transmission can occur through drinking contaminated water or by eating contaminated vegetables and fruits without washing or peeling. Your child may also become infected by playing in the soil where worm eggs have been present. When your child returns home after playing, ensure they wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water to prevent contamination.
What is deworming?
Deworming refers to the process of killing and expelling worms from the body. Alzea 200mg Oral Suspension is commonly used for deworming treatment in children.
Can other medications be given at the same time as Alzea 200mg Oral Suspension?
You can give your child pain-relieving and fever-reducing medicines unless your doctor has instructed you not to. However, some medications may not be compatible with Alzea 200mg Oral Suspension. To avoid potential side effects, consult your child's doctor before administering any other medications.
What is the best time to give Alzea 200mg Oral Suspension to my child?
Alzea 200mg Oral Suspension can be given at any time of the day. Make sure to administer it with a fat-containing food like milk.
Who should not take Alzea 200mg Oral Suspension?
Alzea 200mg Oral Suspension should be avoided by children who have known allergies to albendazole or any other similar medicines, such as mebendazole or thiabendazole. Allergic reactions can include itchy skin rash, shortness of breath, and swelling of the face or tongue. Always inform your child's doctor about their medical history, including all medications they are currently taking.
