Mebendazole Help To Remove Hookworm

Mebendazole is an antiparasitic medication widely used in humans to treat infections caused by intestinal worms. It belongs to a class of drugs known as anthelmintics, which work by preventing worms from absorbing glucose, an essential source of energy for their survival. As a result, the parasites become immobilized and eventually die, allowing the body to eliminate them naturally through the digestive system.  Mebendazole 100mg is commonly prescribed for conditions such as roundworm , hookworm, pinworm, and whipworm infections. It may be used as a single-dose treatment for some infections, like pinworm, or as a short course taken over several days for others. In many cases, a repeat dose is recommended after two weeks to prevent reinfection, especially in households where multiple members may be exposed. Mebendazole is generally well tolerated when taken as directed. Mild side effects can include stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, or headache. Rarely, allergic reactions or liver-related effects may occur with prolonged use. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve early. This medication should be taken under medical guidance, particularly in children, pregnant women, or individuals with liver disease, to ensure safe and effective treatment.
