Hi! 😊
For healthy adults, deworming is not necessary if no clear symptoms or risk.
Book a quick consultation with me I'll assess your situation and suggest if anything is needed.

Yes, adults do need deworming â it's not just for children. In India, worm infestations are quite common and often go unnoticed. The standard deworming medicine for adults is Albendazole 400mg as a single dose, taken once every 6 months. It is safe, well-tolerated, and widely recommended. You can take it for the whole family at once. If anyone has symptoms like stomach pain, bloating, itching around the anus, or unexplained weight loss, it becomes even more important. It's available over the counter, but it's always better to check with a doctor if there are any specific health conditions.
