What Is This Treatment Is For

Mebendazole (including Vermox and Ovex) is an anthelmintic medicine used to treat intestinal worm infections, the most common being threadworm (pinworm). Threadworms are tiny white worms that live in the gut and lay eggs around the anus at night, causing itching and discomfort. Worm infections can affect anyone, regardless of hygiene, and are easily transmitted within households.

Other worms treated include:

• Roundworm
• Whipworm
• Hookworm

Mebendazole is recommended in the UK as a safe, effective first-line treatment for worm infections.

How This Product Works

Mebendazole works by blocking the worms’ ability to absorb glucose, which is essential for their survival. This causes the worms to lose energy and die, after which they are passed naturally in the stool.

When to expect results:

• Threadworm infections are usually cleared with one dose
• For other worms, treatment typically lasts three days

Itching and discomfort usually improve within 24–48 hours

Mebendazole (Vermox/Ovex) is suitable for:

• Adults and children aged over 2 years
• Individuals with confirmed or suspected threadworm/pinworm infection
• Those requiring treatment for roundworm, whipworm or hookworm
