DeWorm

DeWorm (Mebendazole) tablets contain the active ingredient Mebendazole, which is a type of medicine called an anthelmintic. It is used to treat certain types of worm infections of the gut.

Mebendazole works by preventing worms from being able to absorb sugars that are essential for their survival. This depletes the energy stores of the worms, leading to their eventual death within a few days. The dead worms are then excreted from the gut in the stools.

Strictly follow all instructions provided to you by your physician or pharmacist while using DeWorm. Optimum and safe dosage can differ based on the patient and the condition being treated.

A single dose consisting of one tablet is usually all that is needed, but a second dose can be taken after two weeks if the infection comes back. It is recommended that the whole family are treated at the same time.

• Diarrhoea
• Abdominal pain
• Rash
• Allergic reactions such as severe swelling of lips, face or tongue

As DeWorm may be unsafe for certain patients, it is essential you always inform your physician if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as well as if you have any allergies, other illnesses, or ongoing health conditions, and if you are taking any other form of medication, supplements, or herbal products.

Immediately seek emergency medical care if you have any allergic or hypersensitive reaction. Common signs of a reaction include hives, swelling, skin rashes, chest pains, as well as trouble breathing or swallowing.
