What is Mebendazole?
Active Ingredients: Mebendazole
Mebendazole Oral Suspension is an antiparasitic drug used for treating mild to moderate infections caused by worms. It is effective against roundworms (ascariasis), hookworms (ancylostomiasis, necatoriasis, uncinariasis), pinworms (enterobiasis, oxyuriasis), and whipworms (trichuriasis). Mebendazole is approved for use in patients over two years of age.
Mebendazole is classified within the drug family called anthelmintics. It works by inhibiting tubulin polymerization, which interferes with the worm's ability to utilize glucose. This action results in its immobilization and death.
