Abd Suspension 10ml contains albendazole (200 mg), which works on your child's body as follows:

• Disrupts Metabolism of Parasites: Albendazole interferes with the metabolism of parasitic worms which leads to their death. It prevents the formation of substances called microtubules in the cells of the worm's intestine. Microtubules are essential for the worms to absorb nutrients.
• Depletes Energy Stores: The disruption caused by albendazole decreases the parasite's energy stores. Specifically, it depletes stores of glycogen, a type of sugar that provides energy.
• Leads to Elimination: Once the parasites are killed by albendazole, they are eliminated from your child's body through the stool.

• Keep Abd Suspension 10ml in a cool, dry place where the temperature stays below 30°C.
• Shield it from direct sunlight.
• Ensure it's out of reach and sight of children.

• Regular hand hygiene: Teach your child to wash their hands regularly and thoroughly, especially before meals. This can help prevent reinfection by parasitic worms.
• Dietary habits: Encourage your child to avoid undercooked meat. Maintaining this habit can reduce the risk of ingesting parasitic worm eggs that may cause infection.
