Wormin 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 then get removed from your child’s body through the stool.

Wormin Suspension is used to prevent or treat fungal infections and also to treat certain skin disorders causing swelling and redness on skin

Benefits of Wormin Suspension for your child

In Treatment of Parasitic Worm infections

Worms negatively affect the mental and physical development of children. Children infected with worms are often underweight and have a reduced height as compared to other same-aged children. Wormin Suspension helps treat a variety of worm infections like pinworm, hookworm, tapeworm, and roundworm. It also prevents the infection from spreading by removing inactive forms of worms through stools. Deworming amends anemia and improves nutrition. It also increases growth, promotes weight gain, and improves mental and physical development.

How can I give Wormin Suspension to my child?

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Wormin Suspension may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

How Wormin Suspension works

Worms enter 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. Wormin Suspension works by keeping the worms from absorbing sugar (glucose), thereby depleting their energy level. This causes the worms to die, following which the medicine fosters the removal of these dead worms through stools. This helps treat your child’s infection.

Quick tips

Give this medicine to your child with a fat-containing food such as milk as it enables better absorption in the body.
Follow the prescribed dosage strictly. In case your child is prescribed to take this medicine for a few days, make sure to complete the dosage as stopping abrupting may lead to re-infection.
Worm infections are easily spread between family members. The doctor may recommend treatment for all family members on the same day, whether or not they have any symptoms of infection.
All family members must be cautious and take extra care with hygiene measures for at least 6 weeks after the infection.
Some self-care measures:
1. Do not give raw or undercooked food to your child. Instead give a balanced diet, containing herbs, fruits, and spices of therapeutic value.
2. Encourage your child to wash their hands with soap and water every time they use the toilet as that will help prevent cross-infection.
3. Trim your child’s nails frequently to disable any source of worm infection.
4. Maintain a neat space and hygiene around your child.
Inform the doctor in case your child exhibits signs of an allergic reaction after taking the medicine. The symptoms may include rash, itching, or any other sign of infection such as fever, blood in urine and vomit, bleeding from gums, or black, red, or tarry stools.
Wormin Suspension is known to elevate the levels of liver enzymes. Call your child’s doctor right away if your child exhibits any signs of a liver problem like dark urine, tiredness, upset stomach, light-colored stools, or yellow skin or eyes.

FAQs

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

In worm infestations, your child may complain 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. 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.

How can my child become infected with intestinal worms?

Children typically develop 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. These worms and their eggs can get transmitted 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. So, when your child returns home after playing, ask them to clean up using soap and water.

What does deworming mean?

Deworming is the process of killing and expelling worms from the body. Wormin Suspension is widely used for the deworming treatment of children less than 2 years of age.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Wormin Suspension?

You can give your child medicines meant to relieve pain and fever unless your doctor has told you not to. However, there do exist some medicines that should not be given with Wormin Suspension. So, to negate the risk of any side effects, talk to your child’s doctor before giving any other medicines to your child.

What is the best time to give Wormin Suspension to my child?

Wormin Suspension can be given at any time of the day. Just remember to give it in the dose and way as prescribed by your child’s doctor.

Who should not take Wormin Suspension?

Wormin Suspension should not be given to children with known allergies to any other ingredients of this medicine, or any other similar medicines like albendazole or thiabendazole, in the past. Signs of an allergic reaction may include an itchy skin rash, shortness of breath, and swelling of the face or tongue. Let the doctor know about all of your child’s medical conditions before giving the medicine. The doctor should also be aware of any other medicines that your child might be taking, as they may affect or be affected by this medicine.
