What Dosage Of Bendex Suspension Need To Be Givien For Itchy Vagina To A Child?
Good day doctor; My daughter is 3yrs 10 months old and her weight is 11.9kgs. Doctor has suggested deworming for her as she is having itchy feeling around her vagina and anus. And she cries at times without any reason. Doctor has given the medicine BENDEX suspension(Micronized Albendazole). I wanted to ask about the dosage, its written one single dose, that means i should give her the whole amount before bedtime (which is 10ml)or i need to divide into two doses like half n half (5ml + 5ml). If it is divided then how many hours gap from the first dose (5ml) and the second dose (5ml) should i wait. Please help. Thanks in advance.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is given in one single dose, not divided.
Albendazole is used to treat worm infections which can sometimes present with itching of the anal region.
If there is not improvement after 2 weeks or worms/eggs are seen, then treatment can be repeated.
I hope this helps
