Release form

The liquid form of Nemozole is available in plastic bottles. Inside one bottle contains a white sweet suspension in a volume of 20 ml. The medicine also has a solid form - chewable tablets and coated tablets.

Composition

The action of the suspension is provided by a substance called albendazole. From 5 ml of syrup the patient receives it in a dosage of 100 mg.

Operating principle

Albendazole in the suspension is able to destroy worms due to the violation of biochemical processes in the body of worms and damage to intestinal cells of the parasites. The drug is particularly effective for the larvae of the pork tapeworm and echinococcus, as well as the pathogen strongyloidosis. No less active is the cure for ascaris, hookworm, pinworms, necators, claws, toxocars and Giardia.
Suspension is absorbed poorly in the digestive tract, but this process improves with the simultaneous consumption of food (especially fat). Metabolic changes in albendazole occur in the liver, where sulfoxide is formed, which also has antihelminthic activity. Removal of the drug from the body occurs in the urine, but does not change with impaired kidney function.

Application and dosage

Instructions for use allow the medicine to be given to infants during feeding, and older children - in any of the meals. At the same time, it is recommended to treat all other family members living with the child. The dosage of the drug depends on several factors, among which are the diagnosis and the body weight of the patient, and his age:
    If giardiasis is found in a child, the dose of the drug should be calculated by the body weight of the small patient. To do this, the weight in kilograms is multiplied by 10 or 15 and the amount of albendazole is obtained, which must be taken daily once for 5-7 days. For example, a child with a weight of 15 kg is given 150 mg of albendazole per day (15 * 10), which corresponds to 7.5 ml of suspension.
    When infected with ascaris, whipworm, pinworms or other nematodes, the medicine is given once. A child older than 2 years old should drink the drug in full at once, that is, all 20 ml of the suspension from one bottle. Patients younger than 2 years, a single dose is determined by the doctor, but most often the medicine is given once in an amount of 10 ml.
    If a child has toxocarosis, then at the age of 14 years the dose of suspension Nemozole should be calculated by body weight. The drug is given in a dosage of 10mg / 1kg per day, dividing the resulting amount into 2 doses. Children over 14 years old are prescribed medication 400 mg of albendazole twice a day, that is, 1 bottle of suspension per reception, so it is more convenient to use solid forms. Moreover, the duration of treatment with lesions with toxocars is 1-2 weeks.
    If echinococcosis or neurocysticercosis is the reason for using Nemozole suspension, then the dosage is calculated by weight, multiplying the number of kilograms by 15. This daily dose is divided into 2 doses. For example, a child weighing 20 kg needs 300 mg of albendazole per day, so he is given twice a day with 7.5 ml of suspension (150 mg each). With a weight of more than 60 kg, the drug is prescribed at 400 mg per dose twice a day.
