Composition

• Pyrantel Pamoate 125 mg

• Per tablet

Therapeutic Class

• Anthelmintic (Anti-parasitic agent)

Mechanism of Action

Pyrantel Pamoate works by causing neuromuscular blockade in susceptible intestinal worms. It depolarizes the worm’s muscle membrane, leading to paralysis. The immobilized worms lose their ability to maintain their position in the intestine and are subsequently expelled from the body through normal bowel movements. Pyrantel Pamoate acts locally in the gastrointestinal tract with minimal systemic absorption, which contributes to its favorable safety profile.

Indications

Melphin Tablet 125 mg 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 physician

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Melphin Tablet depends on the patient’s age, body weight, and type of worm infestation. It should be taken orally as a single dose or as advised by a healthcare professional. The tablet may be taken with or without food. In some infections, a repeat dose may be recommended after a specific interval to ensure complete eradication of parasites.
