Scientific Evidence:

Pyrantel Pamoate, the active ingredient in Pirantel Suspension, works by paralyzing the worms, allowing them to be passed out of the body. Studies have shown the efficacy of Pyrantel Pamoate in treating various intestinal worm infections with minimal side effects.

Additional Information:

• Storage: Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
• Side Effects: Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain.

Pharmacologically, Pyrantel Pamoate acts as a depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent in worms, causing spastic paralysis. This effect leads to the expulsion of the worms from the gastrointestinal tract. The drug is minimally absorbed into the bloodstream, further enhancing its localized action against intestinal parasites.

Clinical trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of Pirantel Suspension in the treatment of various worm infections, showing high cure rates and a good safety profile. Comparative studies have also highlighted the drug’s efficacy compared to other anthelmintic agents, making it a valuable option in the management of parasitic infections.
