Wormingo 100mg Tablet

Wormingo 100mg Tablet is effective against a range of parasitic worm infections in children. It restrains the worms from absorbing the body's essential nutrients, causing them to lose their energy and leading to their eventual death. The dead worms then get removed from your child’s body through the stool.

Give this medicine to your child by mouth, with or without food. Always ensure to give it as per the dose and way prescribed by the doctor. In case your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking Wormingo 100mg Tablet, give the same dose again. The duration of the treatment depends on the type of worm your child is infected with.

Wormingo 100mg Tablet is usually given as a twice daily dose for 3 days. But, your child's doctor may prescribe repeating this dose after two weeks to prevent re-infection. Some specific types of infections may require you to give this medicine to your child for a few days to weeks. In such a case, give this medicine to your child for the exact prescribed number of days because stopping this medicine too soon may cause re-infection.

Nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, hair fall, mild fever, and sore throat are some of the common yet temporary side effects of this medicine.

Once inside the body, these worms get attached to the inner walls of the intestines and can even enter other body organs.
