Is Bandy Safe For A 2-year-old Child?
Question: Hi, My son is 2years 5 months old. Doctor prescribed BANDY (Albendazole IP 200 mg) -10ml and asked to give before sleep at night. Want to confirm whether it's safe to give the same 10ml before sleep at night.
Brief Answer:
Overall safe.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Bandy (Albendazole) is a deworming agent which is safe to be given in children of this age provided that there is no active gastrointestinal infection. So, unless there are manifestations like diarrhea and vomiting, you can feel free to give it at night.
Hope I have answered your query.

Dr. Diptanshu Das, Pediatrician
