Retrax Worm Syrup: Effective Deworming for Children and Adults
Retrax Worm Syrup is a trusted anthelmintic (worm expeller) used to treat common intestinal worm infections in Nigeria. It is formulated as a 40mg/5ml suspension, making it easy to administer to children who may have difficulty swallowing tablets.
How Retrax Works
The active ingredient in Retrax is Levamisole Hydrochloride. It works by paralyzing the nervous system of intestinal parasites like roundworms (Ascaris lumbricoides) and hookworms. Once paralyzed, the worms are unable to stay attached to the intestinal walls and are naturally expelled from the body through bowel movements, usually within 24 to 48 hours.
Key Benefits of Retrax Syrup
- Fast-Acting Relief: Effectively clears common worm infections with a single dose.
- Child-Friendly Form: The syrup formulation is gentle and easy for kids to take.
- Broad Spectrum: Targets major intestinal parasites including roundworms and hookworms.
- Trusted Quality: Manufactured for Reals Pharmaceutical, a reputable name in Nigerian healthcare.
Dosage and Administration
Retrax is typically administered as a single dose.
- For Adults: The entire 15ml bottle is usually taken at once.
- For Children: Dosage is based on age and body weight.
Always consult a doctor or a GoMed pharmacist before administering deworming medicine to ensure the correct dosage for your child.
Important Safety Information
Do not exceed the recommended dose. If symptoms persist after treatment, seek medical advice. Like all medicines, Retrax may cause mild side effects in some individuals, such as nausea or abdominal cramps. Always read the product leaflet for full safety details.
