Dzole Suspension is used to treat parasitic worm infections like neurocysticercosis (infection caused by pork tapeworm) and cystic hydatid disease (infection caused by dog tapeworm). It is also used to treat infections caused by roundworms, hookworms, threadworms, whipworms, pinworms, flukes, and other parasites. Additionally, it is used to treat giardiasis (an intestinal parasitic infection caused by Giardia lamblia) in children over 2 years of age. It contains Albendazole, which causes metabolic disruption and energy depletion in the parasite, leading to its immobilisation. Thereby, kills the susceptible helminth and treats the infection. In some cases, it may cause certain common side effects, such as stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, headache, dry mouth, and dizziness. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

About Dzole Suspension

Dzole Suspension belongs to a group of medicines called anthelmintics. It is used to treat infections caused by parasitic worms, such as neurocysticercosis (an infection from pork tapeworm that can affect the brain) and cystic hydatid disease (caused by dog tapeworms that can form cysts in organs). It also treats other worm infections, including roundworms, hookworms, threadworms, whipworms, pinworms, flukes, and other intestinal parasites. Additionally, it is used to treat giardiasis (an intestinal infection caused by Giardia parasites) in children over 2 years of age.

Dzole Suspension contains albendazole, an antiparasitic medication that works by blocking worms from absorbing sugar (glucose), which is their primary source of energy. Without energy, the worms become weak and die. This process helps remove the worms from the body, thus clearing the infection.

Take Dzole Suspension as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Dzole Suspension for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. You may experience certain common side effects, such as stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, headache, dry mouth, and dizziness, in some cases. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

It is recommended not to take Dzole Suspension if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant, as it may harm the baby. Avoid breastfeeding during treatment and for at least 5 days after the last dose of the medication. This medicine can lower your white blood cell count, increasing your risk of infections. To minimise this risk, maintain good hygiene and avoid close contact with people who are sick. It may also cause dizziness; therefore, be cautious when driving or operating machinery. Do not use in children unless advised by the doctor. Always inform your doctor about any other health conditions or medicines you are taking to help prevent side effects or interactions.
