Bandy-Plus Suspension (10 ml) is an oral medication commonly used to treat intestinal worm infections, especially in children. It is manufactured by Mankind Pharma and combines two antiparasitic drugs:
Composition:
- Albendazole (200 mg) – a broad-spectrum anthelmintic (anti-worm) medication.
- Ivermectin (1.5 mg) – another potent antiparasitic used to target a wider range of parasites.
Uses:
Bandy-Plus is typically prescribed to treat mixed intestinal parasitic infections, such as:
- Roundworms (Ascaris)
- Hookworms
- Pinworms
- Whipworms
- Strongyloidiasis
- Scabies (in off-label cases, under medical advice)
Dosage:
- The exact dose is determined by a doctor based on age, weight, and type of infection.
- It is usually given as a single dose, but repeated doses may be required depending on the infection.
Administration:
- Shake the bottle well before use.
- Administer with or without food, though taking it with food improves absorption, especially of albendazole.
Side Effects (usually mild and temporary):
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Abdominal pain
- Dizziness
- Diarrhea
- Headache
Seek medical help if the child experiences allergic reactions, rash, or severe abdominal pain.
Precautions:
- Not recommended for children under 2 years unless advised by a doctor.
- Should be used under strict medical supervision.
- Inform the doctor of any liver issues, existing medications, or allergies.
- Keep out of reach of children.
