Olworm Plus Suspension 10ml consists of two active ingredients:

• Albendazole (200 mg): As part of the benzimidazole class of anthelmintic medicines, albendazole works by impairing the formation of cytoplasmic microtubules in the worm intestine. These microtubules are crucial for the absorption of glucose by the worm. When they are disrupted by albendazole, it leads to a reduction in glucose uptake and depletion of glycogen stores in the worm, resulting in its immobilisation and eventual death.

• Ivermectin (1.5 mg): Ivermectin is a member of the avermectin class of anthelmintics. It functions by selectively binding to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels present in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells. This binding increases chloride ions permeability which results in hyperpolarization of the cell membrane leading to paralysis and death of the parasite.

• Store Olworm Plus Suspension 10ml at room temperature.

• Shield it from exposure to light.

• Keep it out of the reach and sight of children.

• Any leftover portion should be discarded four weeks after opening.

• Maintain good personal hygiene, including regular hand-washing, to prevent the risk of new parasitic infections.

• Consume a fat-rich diet and drink plenty of fluids to help manage any potential gastrointestinal side effects, such as nausea or diarrhoea.
