Hi,
There is a recommendation by the World Health Organisation(WHO) and also Indian health guidelines to regularly deworm every child in India between 1 and 19 years of age which is, till he/she finishes school atleast.
Because soil transmitted infections are very prevalent in India
To be given every 6 months , that is two times in a year
A single dose of syrup albendazole 10 ml, or tab albendazole(1 tab=400mg) every 6 monthly is recommended
