Areban Oral Suspension is used to treat parasitic worm infections in paediatrics. Parasitic worm infections are intestinal worm infections that are caused by the ingestion of contaminated food and water. Areban Oral Suspension can be used to treat infections caused by roundworms, hookworms, threadworms, whipworms, pinworms, flukes, and other parasites.
Areban Oral Suspension contains ‘albendazole’ and ‘ivermectin’, which work by keeping the worm from taking glucose and depleting its energy levels, leading to its immobilization. Ivermectin can kill the parasites by acting on the nervous system. It starves the worms by inducing paralysis, consequently leading them to death.
Areban Oral Suspension is for paediatric use only. Give Areban Oral Suspension to children as advised by the doctor.
