About Bandy-Plus Suspension

Bandy-Plus Suspension belongs to the class of medications called ‘antihelmintic’ used to treat parasitic worm infections. Parasitic worm infections are intestinal worm infections that are caused by the ingestion of contaminated food and water. Bandy-Plus Suspension can be used to treat infections caused by roundworms, hookworms, threadworms, whipworms, pinworms, flukes, and other parasites. 

Bandy-Plus Suspension contains ‘albendazole’ and ‘ivermectin’, which work by keeping the worm from taking glucose and depleting its energy levels, leading to its immobilization. Ivermectin can kill the parasites by acting on the nervous system. It starves the worms by inducing paralysis, consequently leading them to death.

You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of Bandy-Plus Suspension are stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, decrease in white blood cell count (leucopenia), vision problems, confusion, weakness, and difficulty walking. Inform your doctor if any of these side effects persist or get worsen.

You should not take Bandy-Plus Suspension if you are allergic to ‘albendazole’, ‘ivermectin’, or any other ingredients present in it. Before taking Bandy-Plus Suspension, inform your doctor if you have a medical history of meningitis, African sleeping sickness (an infection caused by the bite of tsetse fly in African countries), or illness that weakens the immune system HIV.
