Posted on: 10/Feb/2016 10:05:14 AM
Government of India would implement National Deworming Day in schools and pre schools on February 10. This is second phase of the campaign launched in 2015. In Chennai, 18.62,000 children below 14 will be administered Albendezole 400mg chewable tablets.
 
Children aged between one year and two years should take half tablet aged between two years and 19 should chew a tablet preferably after the meal.
 
The tablet removed the growth of hook worm, whip worm and round worm in the body. The growth of those worms in the body of children resulted in anaemia. The worms cause d malnutrition among children and curtailed growth of children. The worms especially suck vitamin A in pancreas.
 
The symptoms of prevalence of worms in the body were severe stomach ache, lack of appetite, diarrhea, loss of energy, and tiredness. There are chances that if there are very few worms, children may not have these symptoms.
