What is Wormin® Mebendazole Suspension?

Mebendazole is an anthelmintic medication used to treat infections caused by certain types of parasitic worms. It works by inhibiting the production of glucose in the worms, leading to their death.

Mebendazole is specifically used to treat infections caused by nematodes, which are parasitic worms that infect the digestive tract, and roundworms, which are parasitic worms that infect the respiratory tract, muscles, and other organs. It is also used to treat infections caused by pinworms, which are parasitic worms that infect the anus and rectum.

Mebendazole is usually taken as a suspension, which is a liquid form of medication that can be taken by mouth. It is generally well-tolerated and has a low risk of side effects. The most common side effects include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and nausea.

It is important to note that mebendazole is only effective against certain types of parasitic worms and should not be used to treat infections caused by other types of parasites or non-parasitic conditions.
