BANDY PLUS TABLET 10'S

How BANDY PLUS TABLET 10'S Works

• BANDY PLUS TABLET 10'S is a combination medication designed to combat parasitic worm infections effectively. It contains two active ingredients: Albendazole and Ivermectin, each targeting parasites through distinct mechanisms.
• Albendazole, a broad-spectrum antihelminthic, disrupts the parasites' cellular structure by interfering with tubulin polymerization. Tubulin is a protein essential for forming microtubules, which are critical components of the parasite's cells. By binding to tubulin, Albendazole prevents the formation of microtubules, thereby inhibiting the parasite's ability to absorb nutrients, move, and maintain its cellular structure. This ultimately leads to the parasite's immobilization and death.
• Ivermectin, on the other hand, is an antiparasitic agent that primarily affects the nervous system and muscles of the parasite. It works by binding to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels, which are present in nerve and muscle cells of invertebrates, including parasitic worms. When Ivermectin binds to these channels, it increases the permeability of the cell membrane to chloride ions. This influx of chloride ions causes hyperpolarization of the nerve or muscle cell, leading to paralysis and death of the parasite. Ivermectin is particularly effective against certain types of nematodes (roundworms) and ectoparasites.
• The synergistic action of Albendazole and Ivermectin in BANDY PLUS TABLET 10'S broadens the spectrum of activity, making it effective against a wide range of parasitic infections. Albendazole targets the parasites' cellular structure, while Ivermectin disrupts their nervous system, ensuring a more comprehensive elimination of the parasitic infestation. Together, these medications work to paralyze and kill the worms, which are then expelled from the body through normal bodily functions.
• Furthermore, the combination therapy helps to reduce the risk of drug resistance development in parasites. By employing two different mechanisms of action, BANDY PLUS TABLET 10'S decreases the likelihood of parasites evolving resistance to either drug, thus improving treatment outcomes and preventing recurrent infections. Always follow your doctor's dosage instructions.

Common side effects of Bandy Plus Tablet may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and headache. Uncommon side effects can consist of allergic reactions like skin rash, itching, or hives; dizziness; drowsiness; fatigue; and temporary hair loss. In rare cases, liver problems or changes in blood cell counts might occur. It's important to consult a doctor if you experience any persistent or severe side effects.

• If you miss a dose of Bandy Plus Tablet, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one.

• Keep BANDY PLUS TAB 1X10 away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store BANDY PLUS TAB 1X10 at room temperature.

• Take BANDY PLUS exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration, as this increases the risk of side effects and may not improve the effectiveness of the medication. A single dose is often effective, but follow-up doses may be needed for certain infections.
• BANDY PLUS should be taken on an empty stomach with a glass of water. This helps the medication to be absorbed properly and work more effectively. Avoid eating food 2 hours before and after taking the medicine, unless instructed otherwise by your doctor.
• Practice good hygiene to prevent reinfection or spreading the infection to others. This includes washing your hands frequently, especially before meals and after using the toilet. Clean and disinfect surfaces that may be contaminated, and avoid sharing personal items like towels and bedding.
• Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, and herbal supplements. Certain medications can interact with BANDY PLUS, potentially reducing its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. Be particularly cautious about medications that affect liver function.
• If you experience any side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, or dizziness, consult your doctor. While these side effects are usually mild and temporary, they can sometimes be more severe. Your doctor may be able to recommend ways to manage these side effects or adjust your dosage.

• While taking BANDY PLUS TABLET 10'S, specific dietary restrictions may not be necessary. However, it is generally advisable to avoid consuming excessive amounts of fatty foods as they can potentially increase the absorption of the medication, leading to higher drug levels in the body. This could increase the risk of side effects. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance based on your overall health and diet.
