What is the dose of Bandy‑Plus Suspension for a 3‑year‑old child weighing 13 kg?
Bandy‑Plus Suspension contains Albendazole and Ivermectin, medicines used to treat worm infestations. For a 3‑year-old child weighing 13 kg, the paediatrician must determine the correct dose and schedule after assessing the child’s overall health, the type of infection, and, sometimes, stool tests or other evaluations. Giving the wrong dose can cause side effects or reduce effectiveness, so parents should not self-medicate and must follow medical guidance. Maintaining good hygiene, including regular handwashing, keeping nails short and clean, and ensuring food and water are safe, also helps prevent worms from returning.
