ALSTAT SUSPENSION

AlStat Susp is an oral suspension containing Albendazole IP 200 mg per 5 ml, designed to treat a variety of parasitic worm infections in both children and adults. Albendazole is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic medication that works by inhibiting the parasites' ability to absorb glucose, leading to their death and elimination from the body.

Key Benefits:

• Albendazole (200 mg per 5 ml): Albendazole is highly effective against a wide range of parasitic infections, including roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms, pinworms, and threadworms. It works by interfering with the parasite’s cellular functions, ultimately leading to its destruction and expulsion from the body.

AlStat Susp is ideal for the treatment of both intestinal and tissue parasitic infections, providing an easy-to-administer liquid form that is particularly useful for children or individuals who have difficulty swallowing tablets.

Indications:

• Ascariasis: Commonly known as roundworm infection, it can cause symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and nutritional deficiencies.
• Giardiasis: A parasitic infection affecting the small intestine, leading to diarrhea, cramps, and nausea.
• Hydatid Cysts: Caused by tapeworm larvae, it can affect organs like the liver and lungs.
• Neurocysticercosis: A brain infection caused by the pork tapeworm, leading to neurological symptoms such as seizures.

Effects of Deficiency:

If left untreated, parasitic infections can lead to severe health issues, including:

• Nutrient Malabsorption: Parasites can interfere with nutrient absorption, causing fatigue, weakness, and malnutrition.
• Organ Damage: Parasitic infections such as hydatid cysts can cause significant damage to organs like the liver and lungs.
• Weakened Immunity: Prolonged parasitic infections can compromise the immune system, making the body more susceptible to other diseases and infections.

Safety Information:

• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: AlStat Susp should only be used during pregnancy if absolutely necessary, as Albendazole may harm an unborn child. It is also excreted in breast milk, so consult a healthcare provider before use.
• Liver Function: If you have a history of liver disease, consult a doctor before using AlStat Susp, as liver function tests may be required during treatment.
• Drug Interactions: Albendazole may interact with certain medications such as cimetidine or dexamethasone, potentially altering how AlStat Susp works. Always inform your doctor about other medications you are taking.
• Dosage: Use AlStat Susp exactly as prescribed. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. The dosage will depend on the type of infection and the patient’s age and weight.

Directions for Use: Shake well before use. Measure the required dosage with a proper measuring spoon or device. Take as directed by your healthcare provider, ensuring to complete the full course of treatment even if symptoms improve.
