How can I give Alzad Oral Suspension Chocolate to my child?

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Alzad Oral Suspension Chocolate may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

How Alzad Oral Suspension works

Worms enter inside your child’s body when your child eats or drinks something that’s infected with a worm or its eggs. Once inside the body, these worms get attached to the inner walls of the intestines and can even enter other body organs. Alzad Oral Suspension Chocolate works by keeping the worms from absorbing sugar (glucose), thereby depleting their energy level. This causes the worms to die thereby treating your child’s infection.
