Mebendazole 100 mg is an antiparasitic medication commonly used in humans to treat infections caused by intestinal worms. It is most effective against roundworms , hookworms, whipworms and pinworms . These parasites live in the intestines and can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, anemia, itching around the anus, and general weakness. Mebendazole 100 mg works by preventing worms from absorbing glucose, which is essential for their survival. As a result, the worms lose energy, become immobilized, and eventually die. The dead worms are then naturally expelled from the body through bowel movements. For pinworm infections, a single 100 mg dose is often prescribed, sometimes repeated after two weeks to prevent reinfection. For other worm infections, Mebendazole 100 mg may be taken twice daily for several days, depending on the type and severity of the infection. The medicine is usually well tolerated, with mild side effects such as nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, or headache in some individuals. It should be taken as directed by a healthcare professional. Mebendazole is not recommended during early pregnancy unless clearly advised by a doctor.
