Bendex Suspension

Product Overview

Bendex Suspension is a medication containing the active ingredient Micronized Albendazole, formulated as a suspension. Micronized Albendazole is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic agent effective against various parasitic worm infestations. Bendex Suspension is designed for oral administration, offering convenience and ease of use for both adults and children.

Uses

Bendex Suspension is primarily used to treat parasitic worm infections, including ascariasis, hookworm infection, trichuriasis, and giardiasis. It is effective against both larval and adult stages of parasitic worms, helping to eliminate the infestation and alleviate associated symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and itching. Bendex Suspension can also be used as a preventive measure in individuals at risk of parasitic infections.

How to Use

Shake the bottle of Bendex Suspension well before each use to ensure uniform distribution of the medication. Measure the prescribed dose using the provided measuring cup or syringe. Administer the suspension orally, either directly into the mouth or mixed with a small amount of water or juice to improve taste. Take Bendex Suspension with food to enhance absorption and minimize gastrointestinal side effects.

How it Works

The active ingredient in Bendex Suspension, Micronized Albendazole, works by disrupting the energy metabolism of parasitic worms, leading to depletion of glycogen stores and impaired ATP production. This results in paralysis and death of the parasite, which is then expelled from the body through bowel movements. Additionally, Micronized Albendazole interferes with microtubule formation in the parasite, disrupting its cellular structure and function.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Bendex Suspension varies depending on the type of parasitic infection being treated and the patient’s age and weight. It is typically administered as a single dose or in divided doses over a period of one to three days. Follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist carefully. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration of treatment without medical supervision.
