Medical Description

Vermisol Syrup is used in the treatment of different types of worm infestations in children. It contains levamisole as its active ingredient, which belongs to the antihelminthic group of medicines. Levamisole acts against the parasitic worms by suppressing the enzymes in their muscles. This action weakens the reproductive capacity of the worms and stops their multiplication. Eventually, the worms get killed and expelled from the body. It also acts as an immunity stimulant and has been used in combination with other medicines in the treatment of colon cancer and infections. It has also been found to be useful in the treatment of some skin conditions. Side effects of Vermisol Syrup include headache, vomiting, weakness, mouth sores and stomach pain. Vermisol Syrup is advised for children in a single dose formulation. It is usually repeated after a gap of a few days to eliminate the worms completely from the body and avoid regrowth of the worms. Overdosage or misuse of Vermisol may lead to consequences like severe deficiency of infection-fighting cells in the blood, anxiety, hot flushes, low blood pressure and loss of consciousness.

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Vermisol Syrup has levamisole as its active ingredient. It binds to the enzymes in the muscles of the worms and makes them weak and paralysed. This interferes with the worm’s capacity to reproduce and multiply. Ultimately, the worms get killed and expelled from the gut without harming the person. It is effective against flatworms, tapeworms and roundworms. Levamisole also acts as an immunity stimulant. This action of Vermisol Syrup helps restore depressed immunity during the treatment of colon cancer. Due to its immunity stimulant action, Vermisol Syrup has also been used in certain skin conditions and severe infections.
