Composition

• Pyrantel Pamoate 50 mg

• Per ml oral suspension

Therapeutic Class

• Anthelmintic (Anti-parasitic agent)

Mechanism of Action

Pyrantel Pamoate acts by causing neuromuscular paralysis of susceptible intestinal worms. It depolarizes the neuromuscular junction of the parasite, leading to spastic paralysis. As a result, the immobilized worms are unable to maintain their grip on the intestinal wall and are expelled from the body naturally through feces. The drug acts locally within the gastrointestinal tract with minimal systemic absorption, contributing to its safety and tolerability.

Indications

Melphin Suspension 50 mg/ml is indicated for the treatment of intestinal worm infections caused by susceptible parasites, including:

• Roundworm (Ascaris lumbricoides)

• Hookworm (Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus)

• Pinworm (Enterobius vermicularis)

• Mixed worm infestations, as diagnosed by a healthcare professional

Dosage and Administration

The dose of Melphin Suspension is determined by the patient’s body weight and the type of parasitic infection. It is usually administered as a single oral dose or as prescribed by a physician. The suspension should be shaken well before use to ensure uniform distribution of the active ingredient. A repeat dose may be recommended after a specific interval to prevent reinfection, depending on the type of worm infestation.

Use in Children

Melphin Suspension is particularly suitable for pediatric patients due to its liquid formulation and ease of administration. Accurate measurement using a calibrated measuring cup or syringe is recommended to ensure correct dosing. Parental supervision is advised during administration.

Precautions and Warnings

• Not recommended for patients with known hypersensitivity to Pyrantel Pamoate

• Use with caution in patients with liver impairment

• Infants should receive this medication only under medical advice

• Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a physician before use

• Maintaining personal hygiene and environmental cleanliness helps reduce the risk of reinfection
