Avizine Syrup

Avizine Syrup is an anti-parasite medicine belonging to the family anthelmintics. It is used to treat different parasitic infections (worm infections) in adults and children. Parasitic infections are diseases caused by parasites (micro-organisms) that live in or on another host/organism. Avizine Syrup is mainly used in treating infections of the roundworms and pinworms caused by parasites.

Avizine Syrup contains Piperazine as an active ingredient, which belongs to the class of GABA receptor agonist drugs. It works by binding to the GABA receptors and causing paralysis of susceptible parasites. Thus, it treats the infection.

Avizine Syrup may cause certain side effects, such as drowsiness, diarrhea, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, headache, muscle weakness, and stomach pain. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor. Avizine Syrup should be taken as advised by your doctor. It is advised not to take more than the prescribed dose of Avizine Syrup. Generally, the dose of the medicine will be decided by your doctor, depending upon the type and severity of the infection.

Avizine Syrup contains Piperazine as an active ingredient, which belongs to the class of GABA receptor agonist drugs. It works by binding to the muscle membrane of GABA receptors. This causes paralyzing of the worms and eventually leads to the death of susceptible helminths and thus prevents the growth of parasitic infections.
