Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Combantrin Chocolate Squares: active ingredients, dosage guidance, serialized QR authenticity verification, guaranteed 2-year shelf life, and fast domestic US shipping.

Authenticity, Freshness & Quality Verification

How does the serialized QR code verification work?

Every authentic box of Combantrin Chocolate Squares has a unique, serialized QR code directly on the packaging. When you scan the QR code using your smartphone camera, your phone instantly connects to our secure verification portal at verify.combantrin.com.

The system immediately confirms genuine product origin, tamper-evident factory release, active lot registration, and authorized chain of custodyβ€”ensuring you never receive counterfeit or unauthorized gray-market goods.

What is the shelf life and guaranteed expiration date?

We guarantee at least 2 full years (700+ days) of remaining shelf life across all inventory dispatched to customers. Our current supply chain batch (Batch P52111) carries an official certified expiration date of 11/2028.

This extended shelf life ensures maximum anthelmintic potency and gives families peace of mind to keep an extra box ready in their household medicine cabinet for preventive or follow-up use.

Why is unit-level QR serialization critical for healthcare products?

Because intestinal parasite treatments are widely sold by unverified third-party resellers on secondary marketplaces, counterfeit or expired inventory can pose real health risks. Our unit-level QR code guarantees that each individual box has been validated from production through temperature-controlled distribution, verifying authentic product integrity before consumption.

Active Ingredient & How It Works

What is the active ingredient in Combantrin Chocolate Squares?

The active medicinal ingredient in Combantrin Chocolate Squares is pyrantel embonate, formulated to deliver the equivalent of 100 mg of pyrantel per chocolate square.

Pyrantel embonate is a clinically proven anthelmintic medication recognized worldwide as the gold standard for single-dose pinworm and roundworm treatment.

How does pyrantel embonate eliminate intestinal worms?

Pyrantel embonate acts as a depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent. It paralyzes the worms inside the intestinal tract, causing them to detach from the intestinal wall. Once paralyzed, the worms are painlessly and naturally cleared from the body through standard bowel movements, typically within 24 to 72 hours.

What types of intestinal parasites does Combantrin treat?

Combantrin Chocolate Squares are specifically indicated for treating:

β€’ Pinworms (also referred to as threadworms β€” Enterobius vermicularis)
β€’ Roundworms (Ascaris lumbricoides)
β€’ Hookworms (Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus)

What are the inactive ingredients and allergen details?

Combantrin squares are crafted with real milk chocolate to ensure a pleasant, kid-approved taste without medicinal bitterness. The formulation is gluten-free and contains no artificial colors. It contains milk protein, lactose, sucrose, and soy, and may contain traces of nuts.

Dosage Guide & Life Cycle Protection

How do I calculate the proper Combantrin dosage?

Combantrin utilizes a precise, weight-based calculation: one 100 mg chocolate square for every 10 kg (approx. 22 lbs) of body weight, taken as a single dose after a meal:

β€’ 22–55 lbs (10–25 kg): 1 to 2 squares
β€’ 56–99 lbs (26–45 kg): 3 to 4 squares
β€’ 100–123 lbs (46–56 kg): 5 squares
β€’ 124–154 lbs (57–70 kg): 6 squares
β€’ Over 154 lbs (70+ kg): 7 squares

For more detailed calculations, consult our dedicated Dosage Guide.

Why must every family member be treated at the same time?

Pinworms are exceptionally contagious. Microscopic eggs easily transfer through bed linens, towels, clothing, door handles, and classroom environments. Infected individuals can carry worms without exhibiting rectal itching or noticeable symptoms. Treating the entire household at the exact same time breaks the transmission chain and stops endless reinfestation loops.

Why is a second dose recommended 2 to 4 weeks later?

While pyrantel embonate effectively immobilizes and clears adult worms, it does not destroy unhatched microscopic eggs. Administering a second dose 2 to 4 weeks after the initial treatment ensures that any newly hatched pinworms are eradicated before they mature into egg-laying adults.
