How it Works

Nicbend Plus Oral Suspension is a mixture of two medicines: Ivermectin and Albendazole. Ivermectin works by binding to the muscle and nerve cells of worms, causing their paralysis and death. Albendazole works by keeping the worms from absorbing sugar (glucose), thereby depleting their energy level. This causes the worms to die, thereby treating your child’s infection effectively.

Another sign of worm infection is pica, in which you may notice your child eating inedible substances such as mud. Speak to your child’s doctor as soon as you notice any of these in your child.
