Mebex 100 mg

About Mebex 100 Mg

Mebex 100 mg tablet contains mebendazole, an antibiotic medication. It is used to treat infections caused by worms. It kills the worm by depriving it of glucose, its primary energy source.

Uses

Mebex 100 mg contains the active ingredient mebendazole, which is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic medication. It is used to treat infections caused by various parasitic worms in the intestines.

This is a very common intestinal worm infection, especially in children, which causes anal itching. These worms can cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

How It Works

It works by interfering with the worms’ ability to absorb sugar (glucose), which is their energy source. This depletes the worms’ energy, causing them to become immobilized and eventually die. The dead worms are then removed from the body through the stool.

Dosage

The dosage of Mebex 100 mg depends on the type of infection, age, and body weight. It is crucial to follow your doctor’s instructions for the correct dose and duration of treatment.

• A single dose is often prescribed, which may be repeated after 2-4 weeks to prevent re-infection.
• The dosage is typically 100 mg twice a day (morning and evening) for 3 consecutive days.

How To Take

Mebex tablets can be taken with or without food. They can be swallowed whole, chewed, or crushed, which can be helpful when giving the medicine to a young child.
