Mebendazole over the counter is an antiparasitic medication commonly used to treat a variety of worm infections, including pinworms, roundworms, whipworms, and hookworms. It works by inhibiting the worms’ ability to absorb sugars essential for their survival, leading to their death and eventual elimination from the body. Mebendazole is usually taken as a single dose or over a few days, depending on the type of infection being treated. Its broad-spectrum activity makes it a go-to treatment for multiple parasitic infections, and it is often prescribed for both adults and children.
While mebendazole is generally well-tolerated, it can cause some side effects. Common side effects may include stomach pain, diarrhea, and nausea. These symptoms are usually mild and temporary. In rare cases, more serious side effects like severe abdominal pain, allergic reactions, or liver enzyme abnormalities may occur, necessitating immediate medical attention. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a healthcare provider before starting treatment to ensure safe and effective use of mebendazole.
