Nemocid Oral Suspension 10 ml
What is Nemocid Oral Suspension
Nemocid Oral Suspension contains the active ingredient Pyrantel Pamoate, an antihelmintic medication used to treat and prevent intestinal pinworm infections, roundworm infections, and hookworm infections. It belongs to the antiparasitic drug class and is widely used for deworming in both adults and children.
This suspension works by paralyzing the worms in the intestines, stopping them from moving or feeding. This allows the body to eliminate the worms naturally through bowel movements. By treating parasitic infections, Nemocid helps prevent complications like abdominal pain, diarrhea, malnutrition, and Anemia.
Nemocid should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Avoid taking Nemocid on an empty stomach unless directed otherwise.
Do not use this medicine if you are allergic to Pyrantel Pamoate or any other components of the formulation. It is also contraindicated in individuals with Myasthenia Gravis (a muscle weakness condition).
Nemocid may interact with other medications, such as Theophylline, Levamisole, or Piperazine. Avoid using these medications simultaneously unless advised by a healthcare provider.
Regular deworming is essential, especially in children and individuals living in areas with a high prevalence of parasitic infections.
By maintaining proper hygiene and following a doctor’s advice, Nemocid Suspension can effectively rid the body of parasitic worms and improve overall health.
It is widely manufactured by Ipca laboratories in WHO-certified facilities.
What are the benefits of Nemocid Oral Suspension
Pyrantel Pamoate works as a blocking agent, by targeting the nervous system of intestinal worms such as pinworms, roundworms, and hookworms. It paralyzes the worms by preventing their muscle contractions.
Once paralyzed, the worms lose their grip on the intestinal walls and are unable to move or feed. This paralysis makes it easier for the body to expel the worms naturally through bowel movements.
Effective against common intestinal worms, the medicine relieves symptoms like bloating, malnutrition, and fatigue. It promotes better digestion and nutrient absorption, which are crucial for growth and energy.
