About W Ban Suspension
W Ban Suspension is used to treat parasite worm infections like pinworm, whipworm, roundworm, hookworm, and other parasites. Parasitic worms are also called intestinal worms or helminths.

W Ban Suspension contains ‘Mebendazole’, which works by inhibiting tubulin polymerization. This causes metabolic disruption and energy depletion in the parasite, which leads to its immobilization. Thereby, W Ban Suspension kills the susceptible helminth and treats the infection.
