Mebendazole is an antiparasitic medication commonly used in humans to treat infections caused by intestinal worms. It is effective against a wide range of parasitic infestations, including roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, pinworms, and threadworms. These infections are more common in areas with poor sanitation and hygiene, and they can affect both children and adults. Mebendazole 100 mg works by preventing the worms from absorbing glucose, which is essential for their survival. As a result, the parasites lose energy, die, and are eventually expelled from the body through natural bowel movements. The medicine acts mainly within the intestines and is minimally absorbed into the bloodstream, making it generally safe and well tolerated. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the type of worm infection being treated. In many cases, a single dose or a short course is sufficient, though some infections may require repeat treatment after a few weeks. Mebendazole can be taken with or without food and is often available in chewable tablet or suspension form.Common side effects are usually mild and may include stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, or headache. Serious side effects are rare when used as directed. Mebendazole should be taken under medical guidance, especially in pregnant women, young children, or individuals with liver problems.
