Dear Sir, having those drugs for OTP children  have shown better results for patients. I will refer to you this documentation from WHO on the subject:

In practice the mentioned drugs are considered to be essential particularly in our poor, middle and low income countries. Be free to share any new view on the subject.

Regards

OTP is suppose to be a program aimed at managing severe acute malnutrition with no complications and children need to be on RUTF. The OTP protoco say you have to administer an antibiotic, vitam a and dewoming to all children in OTP regardless reason being their immune system is already comprosed and needs to be supported as we are addrssing the undernutrition. the implications of not giving drugs is prolonged cure rate, ignoring possible infections which may result in episodes of relapse.  

Hello, 

I request that you make me understand routine amoxicilin administration at OTP services.  At what ages what duration apart?

Regards

Hi Mohammed,

You may find the WHO update of 2013 useful - this discusses Vitamin A and antibiotics. Deworming is given routinely on the presumption of worm infestation. The risk of not giving Mebendazole would depend on the risk of worm infection in each context and on the amount of infestation in the individual. There is some discussion of deworming in this en-net post 

I hope this helps,

Paul
