How and when to take mebendazole - Brand names: Ovex, Vermox
Dosage
A doctor or pharmacist will tell you how much mebendazole to take, depending on the type of worms you have.
If you have threadworms (also called pinworms) you'll usually take a single dose.
If you live with anyone else, they will need to be treated at the same time because threadworms can spread easily.
A doctor or pharmacist may suggest you repeat the dose after 2 weeks to stop you from getting threadworms again.
This is because the medicine kills the worms but not their eggs.
For other worms such as whipworm, roundworm and hookworm, follow your doctor's instructions on how to take mebendazole.
Is it safe to take worming tablets if you don't have worms
Usually you need to take a dose 2 times a day for 3 days.
How to take it
Chew the tablet or swallow it whole with a drink of water, juice or milk. You can take it with or without food.
If you're taking the liquid, it comes with a plastic spoon to measure the dose.
If you do not have a spoon, ask your pharmacist for one. Do not use a kitchen teaspoon as it will not measure the right amount.
