For the youngest patients used suspension – this form of output facilitates the reception. This is especially true for children up to 2 years, which can have difficulty swallowing tablets.
Suspension – type solution, where the fluids are solids in suspension. This form implies the presence of sediment and because of its need to shake. It would seem that you can just crush the pill into a powder and dissolve in water. But, as a rule, antiparasitic drugs are very unpleasant to the taste, and because the reception of such an aqueous solution may cause a negative reaction from the child, until vomiting. Suspension for children is flavored to facilitate the use, smoothing out the bitterness. In addition, the release form provides for a special scoop, which is convenient to determine the necessary dosage. As a result, the process becomes more enjoyable for the baby.
Contained components help to improve absorption of the active substance. Also receiving slurry from worms usually do not require additional use of auxiliary funds – enough to buy only the medicine. This reduces effects on the liver, because the parasitic components have a high toxicity.

Description popular means
Suspension is better suited for children because of its shape, which allows for easy reception. The choice of active ingredient depends on the type of parasite. Therefore, it is necessary first to pass tests and only then buy medicine.
1. Pyrantel.
The name of the active substance corresponds to the name of the drug. Assigned to kids from 6 months. Pyrantel contributes to the blocking of muscle activity of the worms, which facilitates its excretion from the body. Due to the fact that the active substance is practically not absorbed into the bloodstream, the drug acts very gently, with minimal impact on the liver.
Welcome Pyrantel should be carried out once during or after a meal. May require repeated use of the drug in 2-3 weeks. This is because the active ingredient Pyrantel affects only the adult worms, and eggs can remain in the intestines and cause re-infection.
