Zitabend 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. Zitabend Suspension can be used to treat infections caused by roundworms, hookworms, threadworms, whipworms, pinworms, flukes, and other parasites.
Zitabend 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.
Zitabend Suspension is for paediatric use only. Give Zitabend Suspension to children as advised by the doctor. Zitabend Suspension may cause some common side effects such as stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, decrease in white blood cell count (leucopenia), vision problems, confusion, weakness, and difficulty walking. Most of these side effects of Zitabend Suspension do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Before using the Zitabend Suspension, please inform your doctor of your children's or caregiver's medical conditions, sensitivities, and all drugs they are taking. Continue using Zitabend Suspension for as long as your doctor has prescribed to treat your child's illness effectively. Do not use any other medications or supplements while using Zitabend Suspension unless recommended by the doctor.
Zitabend Suspension contains ‘Albendazole’ and ‘Ivermectin’, which belong to the class of medications called ‘antihelmintic’. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used in the treatment of parasitic infections. It can kill the disease-causing worms and stop the spread of infection effectively. Albendazole interrupts the absorption of glucose by the worm leading to energy depletion. Ivermectin acts by paralyzing the worms, consequently leading them to death.
The presence of other medical problems or using other medications may affect the use of this medicine. Zitabend Suspension is not recommended for those who are hypersensitive to any substance in Zitabend Suspension. Zitabend Suspension should not be used in anaemias other than those due to iron deficiency. So, before using Zitabend Suspension, let your doctor know about all your children's medical conditions (especially if they have any blood disorders or iron overload, etc), sensitivities, and all medications, including supplements used.

Lifestyle Habits to Prevent Parasitic Infections:
Parasitic worm infections: Parasitic worms are also called intestinal worms or helminths. They live in and feed on the hosts leading to weakness and diseases. Common types of intestinal worms are roundworms and flatworms, such as tapeworms and flukes. Worm infections could occur due to the consumption of contaminated water, food, or soil, contact with contaminated faeces, poor sanitization, or poor hygiene. Symptoms of worm infections include abdominal pain, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, gas, bloating, fatigue, unexplained weight loss, and dysentery (bloody stools).
