Mebendazole 500mg Tablets

Product Introduction

Mebendazole 500mg is an antiparasitic medicine used for intestinal worm infections for mebendazole treatment. It may be used for pinworm, roundworm, whipworm, hookworm, or mixed worm infections depending on local guidance, age, weight, and diagnosis. Mebendazole works mainly inside the gut by preventing worms from using glucose, gradually reducing their energy supply. Some infections need treatment of close contacts, repeat dosing after a set interval, nail hygiene, handwashing, laundering bedding and clothing, and follow-up if symptoms persist.

How to use

Take Mebendazole 500mg exactly as prescribed for the identified worm infection. Follow repeat-dose, household, hygiene, and stool-test instructions if given. Do not extend treatment without advice.

How it works

Mebendazole disrupts parasite glucose uptake and microtubule function, causing susceptible worms to lose energy and die.

Common side effects

Possible effects include abdominal pain, diarrhea, gas, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, and rash. Serious warning signs include severe rash, fever, sore throat, mouth ulcers, seizures, jaundice, or unusual bruising.

Important information

Review worm diagnosis, pregnancy, breastfeeding, young child age, liver disease, seizure history, immune problems, metronidazole use, and whether household contacts also need treatment.
