Mebendazole is a commonly prescribed antiparasitic medication used to treat a range of intestinal worm infections such as pinworms, roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms. It works by disrupting the energy systems of parasitic worms, eventually killing them and allowing the body to expel them naturally.
The primary action of
Mebendazole 100
is to block the worms’ ability to absorb glucose, which is their main source of energy. Without glucose, the worms become paralyzed and die from energy depletion. This process begins soon after the medication is taken, though it may take a few hours to a couple of days for the worms to completely die and be removed from the body through the stool.
Unlike some other deworming medications, mebendazole is not absorbed much into the bloodstream. It stays mostly in the intestines, which is where the worms live. This makes it effective at targeting the parasites directly where they cause the most harm, while minimizing side effects for the user.
Mebendazole is usually given as a single dose for mild infections, but in the case of more severe or recurring infestations, a longer treatment of up to three days may be recommended. A repeat dose may also be advised after 2–3 weeks to eliminate any newly hatched worms.
It’s important to follow hygiene measures like washing hands and cleaning household items to prevent reinfection and spread, especially when treating pinworms which are highly contagious.
