Mybend Suspension is an anti-parasite medicine used to treat different parasitic infections in children. Parasitic infections are diseases caused by parasites (micro-organisms) that live in or on another host/organism. Mybend Suspension is used in treating infections of the roundworms, hookworms, threadworms, whipworms, pinworms, and flukes caused by parasites. It is also used to treat neurocysticercosis (infection caused by pork tapeworm) and cystic hydatid disease (infection caused by dog tapeworm).

Mybend Suspension contains Albendazole as an active ingredient belonging to the class of benzimidazole drugs. It works by inhibiting tubulin polymerisation, causing metabolic disruption and energy depletion in the parasite, leading to immobilization. This eventually leads to the death of susceptible helminths and thus prevents the growth of parasitic infections. 

Mybend Suspension may cause certain side effects in your child, such as indigestion, diarrhea, nausea, metallic taste, vomiting, headache, 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 pediatrician. Mybend Suspension should be given as advised by your doctor. Do not give the child more than the prescribed dose of Mybend Suspension. Generally, the dose of the medicine will be decided by your pediatrician depending upon the type and severity of the infection.

Mybend Suspension is intended for pediatric use only. Avoid giving Mybend Suspension to your child if she/he is allergic to antibiotics. Keep your doctor informed about your child’s health condition, medications, and medical history to rule out any side effects/interactions. Avoid giving Mybend Suspension if you notice any unusual bleeding or bruising symptoms in your child, and consult your paediatrician immediately.

Mybend Suspension contains Albendazole. It is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic that acts against intestinal nematode and cestode infection. Mybend Suspension is used in the treatment of several parasitic infections in children. It works by inhibiting tubulin polymerisation, causing metabolic disruption and energy depletion in the parasite, leading to immobilization. This eventually leads to the death of susceptible helminths and thus prevents the growth of parasitic infections.  

• Include more fiber-enriched food in your child’s diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth.
• Fiber foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics.
• Make your child drink more fluids to avoid dehydration.
• Maintain proper hygiene for your child
• Make your child drink clean and filtered water.
• If your child is infected, avoid giving non-vegetarian food for some days.
• Regularly wash your child's hands with soap and water, especially after using the toilet and while eating.

Parasitic infections: Parasitic worms, also called intestinal worms or helminths, are infections caused by parasites (micro-organisms) that live in or on another host/organism. Intestinal worms are of different types, such as roundworms and flatworms, such as tapeworms and flukes. These infections can occur due to consuming contaminated water, food or soil, contact with contaminated faeces, poor sanitisation and poor hygiene. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, gas, bloating, fatigue, unexplained weight loss, and dysentery (bloody stools). Mybend Suspension is used in treating infections of the roundworms, hookworms, threadworms, whipworms, pinworms, and flukes caused by parasites.
