About P-Worm Syrup
P-Worm Syrup belongs to a group of drugs called 'anthelmintic' used to treat parasitic worm infections, such as neurocysticercosis (an infection caused by the pork tapeworm) and cystic hydatid disease (an infection caused by the dog tapeworm). Additionally, P-Worm Syrup is also used to treat infections caused by roundworms, hookworms, threadworms, whipworms, pinworms, flukes, and other parasites.
P-Worm Syrup contains 'Albendazole', which works by inhibiting tubulin polymerisation. This causes metabolic disruption and energy depletion in the parasite, which leads to its immobilisation. Thereby, P-Worm Syrup kills the susceptible helminth and treats the infection.
Take P-Worm Syrup as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take P-Worm Syrup 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, 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.
P-Worm Syrup may increase the chances of getting an infection, so it is advisable to maintain proper hygiene and try to avoid contact with people who have infections, the flu, or colds. Consult your doctor if you notice unusual bleeding or bruising, as you may bleed or bruise easily while taking P-Worm Syrup. Do not take P-Worm Syrup if you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy, as it may cause fetal harm. Do not breastfeed during and for a minimum of 5 days after treatment with P-Worm Syrup. P-Worm Syrup may cause dizziness; therefore, exercise caution while driving. P-Worm Syrup can be given to children if prescribed by the doctor. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and any medications you are taking to help rule out any potential side effects.
