Medicine OverView
Nemocid 250mg Tablet contains Pyrantel 250 mg, an antiparasitic medicine used to treat infections caused by intestinal worms. It is most commonly used to remove threadworms, roundworms, and hookworms from the digestive system.
Nemocid 250mg Tablet works inside the intestines and is often chosen because it can treat common worm infections with a single dose. It may be used in adults and children when recommended by a doctor.
Doctors may also suggest treatment for all household members if threadworm infection spreads easily within the family.
Nemocid 250mg Tablet works by paralyzing the worms inside the intestines. Once the worms lose their ability to move, the body naturally removes them through the stool.
Because the worms are removed quickly, symptoms such as stomach discomfort, itching around the anus, and poor appetite often improve within a few days.
Usual Dose: The dose depends on body weight and the type of worm infection. Many adults take one 250 mg tablet or more according to their weight. Some people may need a repeat dose after 2 to 3 weeks.
Missed Dose: If you forget to take the dose, take it as soon as possible. If another dose is due soon, skip the missed one. Do not take two doses together.
Overdose: Taking too much may cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness, stomach pain, or diarrhea. Contact a doctor if overdose occurs.
