Kit-Kat Suspension may cause the following common side effects in children:

Abdominal pain
Diarrhoea
Nausea
Vomiting
Loss of appetite
Headache
Dizziness

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Kit-Kat Suspension. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Abdominal pain: Try giving the medicine to your child with food or milk.
Vomiting: If vomiting occurs after taking this medicine, you may want to give it to your child at bedtime.

Kit-Kat Suspension has a single active ingredient: Mebendazole (100 MG). Here's how it works:

Blocks Glucose Uptake: Mebendazole selectively and irreversibly blocks glucose uptake in parasitic worms. By doing this, it starves the worms of their energy source.
Inhibits β-tubulin Polymerisation: Mebendazole inhibits the polymerisation of worm-specific β-tubulin isotype. This action immobilises the worms.

These two mechanisms lead to energy depletion and immobilisation of the worms, causing their death. The dead worms are then eliminated from your child's body through faeces.
