Nemocid Tablet

Nemocid Tablet contains pyrantel pamoate as labelled in each tablet and is a tablet dosage form made by Ipca Laboratories, India. Pyrantel pamoate is an anthelmintic, or deworming medicine, used to treat certain intestinal worm infections. Nemocid Tablet is commonly used for pinworms, roundworms, and hookworms when a clinician confirms the infection. It helps clear the worms from the intestine so the body can pass them out in stool.

How it works: Pyrantel pamoate works by paralyzing susceptible intestinal worms, making them unable to grip the bowel wall. With Nemocid Tablet, the paralyzed worms are then removed naturally from the body in the stool.

This as-labelled Nemocid Tablet is a tablet strength that is taken by mouth, which can be convenient for adults and older children who can swallow or chew tablets. Because it is a fixed tablet strength, a doctor may choose it to match the needed dose more easily than a liquid or another form, depending on the patient’s age and weight. The exact number of tablets per dose is based on the prescribed pyrantel pamoate amount, so this product should be used only as directed.

• Pinworm infection
• Roundworm infection
• Hookworm infection
• Other intestinal worm infections prescribed by a doctor

• Take Nemocid Tablet by mouth exactly as directed by your doctor.
• Chew the tablet thoroughly if your clinician or product directions say it is chewable; otherwise swallow with water.
• It can often be taken with or without food, but taking it after a meal may help reduce stomach upset.
• Follow your prescriber's timing instructions carefully; some worm infections may need a repeat dose later.
• Treat household contacts and follow hygiene measures if your doctor recommends them to prevent reinfection.
• Do not take more tablets than prescribed, even if symptoms seem mild.

Each Nemocid Tablet provides pyrantel pamoate as labelled on the pack, and the number of tablets per dose depends on the prescribed amount for your infection and body weight. It is usually taken as a single dose, but some cases may need a repeat dose after a set interval; the doctor decides the schedule and maximum daily amount. Do not estimate the dose on your own, because the right tablet count depends on this specific strength and the infection being treated.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
