Avoban 200mg Oral Suspension is a medication used to treat parasitic worm infections in children. Avoban 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. Avoban 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 experiences symptoms like 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 could indicate a worm infestation. Another sign is pica, where your child might eat inedible substances such as mud. Contact your child's doctor immediately if you observe any of these symptoms. The doctor may request stool and blood samples on three different days for examination. Based on the results, the doctor will determine the treatment and prescribe medication for your child.
How can my child get infected with intestinal worms?
Children are most likely to become infected. The infection spreads from worm eggs present in human feces that contaminate soil in areas lacking proper sanitation. Transmission can occur through drinking contaminated water or by eating unwashed or unpeeled vegetables and fruits. Your child may also be infected if they play in soil that contains worm eggs. After your child returns home from playing, encourage them to clean themselves using soap and water.
What is deworming?
Deworming is the process of killing and expelling worms from the body. Avoban 200mg Oral Suspension is commonly used for treating children's worm infections.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Avoban 200mg Oral Suspension?
You can give your child medicines intended for pain relief or fever reduction unless your doctor has instructed you not to. However, certain medications should not be taken simultaneously with Avoban 200mg Oral Suspension. To prevent potential side effects, consult your child's doctor before administering any other medication.
When is the best time to give Avoban 200mg Oral Suspension to my child?
Avoban 200mg Oral Suspension can be administered at any time of day, just remember to give it with a fat-containing food such as milk.
Who should not take Avoban 200mg Oral Suspension?
Avoban 200mg Oral Suspension should not be given to children who have known allergies to albendazole or similar medicines, such as mebendazole or thiabendazole. Signs of an allergic reaction may include itchy skin rash, shortness of breath, and swelling of the face or tongue. Before administering the medicine, inform your child's doctor about all their medical conditions. Also, let your child's doctor know about any other medications they are taking for any other conditions, as these could potentially interact with Avoban 200mg Oral Suspension.
