About WOMIBAN SUSOENSION

WOMIBAN SUSOENSION 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. WOMIBAN SUSOENSION 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).

WOMIBAN SUSOENSION 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. 

WOMIBAN SUSOENSION 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. WOMIBAN SUSOENSION should be given as advised by your doctor. Do not give the child more than the prescribed dose of WOMIBAN SUSOENSION. Generally, the dose of the medicine will be decided by your pediatrician depending upon the type and severity of the infection.

WOMIBAN SUSOENSION is intended for pediatric use only. Avoid giving WOMIBAN SUSOENSION 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 WOMIBAN SUSOENSION if you notice any unusual bleeding or bruising symptoms in your child, and consult your paediatrician immediately.
