Wornic Syrup

Wornic 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, Wornic Syrup is also used to treat infections caused by roundworms, hookworms, threadworms, whipworms, pinworms, flukes, and other parasites.

Wornic 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, Wornic Syrup kills the susceptible helminth and treats the infection.

Take Wornic Syrup as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Wornic 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.

Wornic 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 Wornic Syrup. Do not take Wornic 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 Wornic Syrup. Wornic Syrup may cause dizziness; therefore, exercise caution while driving. Wornic 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.

• Control of neurocysticercosis: Wornic Syrup helps to manage neurocysticercosis, a condition caused by pork tapeworm larvae affecting the central nervous system.
• Prevention of re-infection: Wornic Syrup can be prescribed to help prevent re-infection with certain parasites, particularly in areas where they are common.
• Support in mixed infections: Wornic Syrup effectively treats mixed parasitic infections, covering a broader spectrum of helminth infections.

Wornic Syrup belongs to a group of medicines called anthelmintics, used to treat worm infections such as neurocysticercosis (infection caused by pork tapeworm) and cystic hydatid disease (infection caused by dog tapeworm). Wornic Syrup is also used to treat infections caused by roundworms, hookworms, threadworms, whipworms, pinworms, flukes, and other parasites. Wornic Syrup is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic drug which is highly effective against a wide range of intestinal helminths, including cestodes, nematodes, and trematodes. It is also effective against tissue helminth infections like cutaneous larva migrans (parasitic skin infections). Wornic Syrup exhibits ovicidal, larvicidal, and vermicidal activity. Wornic Syrup inhibits tubulin polymerisation, which causes metabolic disruption and energy depletion in the parasite. This leads to the immobilisation of the parasite. Thereby, Wornic Syrup kills the susceptible helminth and treats the infection.

Do not take Wornic Syrup if you are allergic to any of its contents. Wornic Syrup may cause bone marrow suppression, aplastic anaemia, and agranulocytosis.
