What is Vermox?
Vermox (Mebendazole) is an anthelmintic medication used to treat infections caused by parasitic worms such as roundworm, whipworm, hookworm, and pinworm. It works by preventing the worms from absorbing sugars, which they need to survive. Vermox is prescribed to both adults and children above the age of 2. It is usually taken as a single dose, which may be repeated after two weeks, depending on the severity of the infection.
Precautions
Before taking Vermox, it is important to tell your doctor about any other medical conditions you have and any medications you are taking. Vermox should not be used if you are allergic to mebendazole or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is also important to avoid alcohol while taking Vermox, as this may increase the risk of side effects.
