Combantrin Chocolate Squares are a convenient and effective treatment for common intestinal worm infections. Each chocolate square contains the active ingredient pyrantel embonate, which works as an antihelminthic to eliminate threadworm, roundworm, and hookworm by paralysing the worms, allowing the body to naturally expel them.

Presented in a tasty chocolate base, Combantrin is easy to administer, especially for children or adults who have difficulty swallowing tablets. The 24-square pack ensures enough doses for family treatment and repeat use when required, making it a trusted solution for worm infestations.
