Your child’s medicine at a glance

Min Min 100mg Tablet is effective against a range of parasitic worm infections in children. It restrains the worms from absorbing the body's essential nutrients, causing them to lose their energy and leading to their eventual death. The dead worms then get removed from your child’s body through the stool.

Give this medicine to your child by mouth, with or without food. Always ensure to give it as per the dose and way prescribed by the doctor. In case your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking Min Min 100mg Tablet, give the same dose again. The duration of the treatment depends on the type of worm your child is infected with.

Min Min 100mg Tablet is usually given as a twice daily dose for 3 days. But, your child’s doctor may prescribe repeating this dose after two weeks to prevent re-infection. Some specific types of infections may require you to give this medicine to your child for a few days to weeks. In such a case, give this medicine to your child for the exact prescribed number of days because stopping this medicine too soon may cause re-infection.

Nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, hair fall, mild fever, and sore throat are some of the common yet temporary side effects of this medicine. Rarely, it may cause bleeding which is a serious side effect of this medicine. Make sure to report to your child’s doctor if the side effects persist or become bothersome or if your child experiences bleeding.

Before giving this medicine to your child, let the doctor know if your child has had any previous episodes of medicine allergy, seizures, liver impairment, kidney malfunction, stomach problem, or blood disorder. This information is critical for dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.

How Min Min Tablet works

Worms enter your child’s body when your child eats or drinks something that’s infected with a worm or its eggs. Once inside the body, these worms get attached to the inner walls of the intestines and can even enter other body organs. Min Min 100mg Tablet works by keeping the worms from absorbing sugar (glucose), thereby depleting their energy level. This causes the worms to die, following which the medicine fosters the removal of these dead worms through stools. This helps treat your child’s infection.

Hello PATIENT to 1mg. Premature Ejaculation is very common in age and first of all dont take so much tension which is further deteriorate your health. Life style modification with behavioural changes may help you more. There are some technique and take help from your partner. In the ?stop-start? programme, the partner stimulates the penis until the patient feels the urge to ejaculate. At this point, he instructs his partner to stop, waits for the sensation to pass and then stimulation is resumed. Another the ?squeeze? technique is similar but the partner applies manual pressure to the glans just before ejaculation until the patient loses his urge. Apply some cream like Climax spray / EMLA cream which will further help.
