Mebendazole tablets are an antiparasitic medication commonly used in humans to treat infections caused by intestinal worms. They are effective against a variety of parasitic worms, including roundworms, hookworms, whipworms (trichuriasis), pinworms and some tapeworm infections. These worms typically enter the human body through contaminated food, water, or soil and can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, anemia, itching around the anus, and general weakness. Mebendazole 100 mg works preventing by the worms from absorbing glucose, which is essential for their survival. As a result, the parasites lose energy, become immobilized, and eventually die. The dead worms are then naturally expelled from the body through bowel movements. The medication is usually taken orally, with or without food, and the dosage depends on the type of worm infection being treated. In some cases, a single dose is sufficient, while other infections may require treatment over several days. Mebendazole is generally well tolerated. Mild side effects may include nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, or headache. Serious side effects are rare when used as prescribed. It is important to follow medical advice and maintain proper hygiene to prevent reinfection and ensure effective treatment.
