Bandy-Plus chewable tablet is a prescription antiparasitic medicine containing albendazole 400 mg + ivermectin 6 mg per tablet used to treat intestinal worm infections and certain parasitic infestations. 
For a once-yearly deworming or general preventive dose, the usual practice in many paediatric and adult indications is:
Next Steps
✔ Confirm whether this medicine is actually needed for preventive deworming in your or your child’s situation.
✔ Consult your doctor or paediatrician to determine the right dose based on body weight, especially for children — because dosing for children is often weight-based, not age alone. 
✔ Take the tablet exactly as prescribed: chew completely before swallowing and follow food-taking instructions if advised (some doctors recommend on an empty stomach). 
Do NOT take multiple doses or repeat doses without medical oversight — misuse can increase side effects.
Health Tips
✔ Record any symptoms of worms (itching, abdominal pain, weight loss) before starting.
✔ Maintain good hygiene and hand-washing to prevent re-infection.
✔ Use clean water and properly washed food to avoid parasitic exposure.
✔ If given for preventive use, one tablet is usually sufficient, but follow the exact plan your doctor recommends. 
Since correct dosing depends on age, weight, and infection risk, I strongly recommend booking an online consultation so i can tailor the appropriate dose and schedule for your needs before you start Bandy-Plus.

Dear Patient,
For individuals 12 years and older (including adults), the usual dosage of Bandy Plus chewable tablet (albendazole + ivermectin) for routine deworming is:
✔ 1 chewable tablet as a single dose, preferably taken after food (after dinner) for better absorption.
For general yearly deworming in otherwise healthy individuals, one dose is usually sufficient unless symptoms of worm infestation are present, in which case a doctor may advise repeating the dose after 2 weeks.
Precautions:
- Avoid during pregnancy.
- Mild side effects such as nausea, dizziness, or abdominal discomfort may occur temporarily.
- Consult a doctor if there are persistent symptoms like abdominal pain, weight loss, or itching around the anal area.
