How depar tablet works
Depar 50mg Tablet is an effective antiparasitic and an immunoregulatory agent. As an antiparasite, it works by paralyzing the worms present in the intestines. This causes the worms to die, followed by the fast removal of these dead worms through stools. As an immunoregulator, it promotes activation of white blood cells (WBCs) and helps in restoring the normal function of the immune system.

Frequently asked questions FOR Depar 50mg Tablet
Levamisole
Q. How can I know that my child is having a worm infection?
In case of worm infestations, your child may complain of an itchy bottom (rectal area), difficulty sitting, fatigue, restless sleep due to anal itching, or persistent stomach pain with loss of appetite or frequent indigestion. Another sign of worm infection is Pica (a habit of eating inedible substances such as mud). Speak to your child’s doctor as soon as you notice any such signs in your child. The doctor may ask for your child’s stool and blood samples for examination. Depending upon the reports, the doctor will decide upon the treatment and prescribe your child some medicine.
Q. How can my child become infected with intestinal worms?
Children typically develop infections very easily due to weak immunity. The infection can be transmitted from the eggs of worms present in human feces which contaminate soil in areas with poor sanitation. These worms and their eggs can get transmitted by drinking contaminated water or by eating contaminated vegetables and fruits without washing or peeling properly. Your child may also get infected by playing in the soil that is contaminated with the eggs of the worms. So, keep a note of these points and take proper care of their hygiene. Ask your child to properly clean hands and legs after returning from outdoor activities.
