About Nemocid Suspension

Nemocid Suspension belongs to a group of antiparasitic drugs called 'anthelmintic' used to treat intestinal worm infections like pinworm, roundworm, hookworm and other parasite infections.

Nemocid Suspension contains ‘Pyrantel Pamoate’, which paralyses intestinal worms. This causes metabolic disruption and energy depletion in the parasite, leading to immobilisation. Thereby, Nemocid Suspension kills the susceptible helminth (parasitic worms) and treats the infection.

Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to take Nemocid Suspension for as long as your doctor prescribes it. You may experience certain common side effects such as diarrhoea, dizziness, headache, irritability, loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting, and trouble sleeping in some cases. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Nemocid Suspension may increase the chances of getting an infection, so it's essential to maintain proper hygiene and avoid contact with people who have infections, flu, or colds. Do not use Nemocid Suspension in children younger than two years unless prescribed by a child specialist. Do not take Nemocid Suspension if you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy, as it may cause foetal harm. Nemocid Suspension may cause dizziness, so be cautious while driving. Nemocid Suspension can be given to children above two years if prescribed by the doctor. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.
