About Antiminth 250mg Tablet

PYRANTEL PAMOATE belongs to a group of antiparasitic drugs called 'anthelmintic' used to treat intestinal worm infections like pinworm, roundworm, hookworm, and other parasite infections.

PYRANTEL PAMOATE contains ‘Pyrantel Pamoate’ which works by paralyzing the intestinal worms. This causes metabolic disruption and energy depletion in the parasite, which leads to its immobilization. Thereby, PYRANTEL PAMOATE kills the susceptible helminth (parasitic worms) and treats the infection.

PYRANTEL PAMOATE is available in tablet and suspension dosage forms. Take PYRANTEL PAMOATE by mouth with or without meals or as directed by your doctor. You are advised to take PYRANTEL PAMOATE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. You may experience certain common side-effects such as diarrhea, dizziness, headache, irritability, loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting, and trouble sleeping in some cases. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

PYRANTEL PAMOATE might increase the chances of getting an infection, maintain proper hygiene, and try to stay away from people with infections, flu, or cold. Do not use PYRANTEL PAMOATE in children younger than two years unless prescribed by a child specialist. Do not take PYRANTEL PAMOATE if you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy as it may cause fetal harm. PYRANTEL PAMOATE may cause dizziness, so be cautious while driving.
