How Can I Get Tips And Suggestions Related To Deworming ?

I would like to deworm my family. I am, however, still breastfeeding my 18 month old son. Do I deworm him and not myself or can we take it concurrently?

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic forum.
Yes you can concurrently deworm yourself and your son.Remember to use the dosage of the medication for your child as prescribed by his pediatrician as children less than 2 years of age require approximately half the usual pediatric dose recommended for kids older than two.
Wishing you good health .
Regards
