mebendazole over the counter is an anti-parasitic medication used to treat various worm infections, including pinworms, roundworms, whipworms, and hookworms. It works by preventing the worms from absorbing essential nutrients, causing them to die and be eliminated from the body. This medication is commonly prescribed for both adults and children and is usually taken as a single dose or for a few days, depending on the infection. Mebendazole is generally well-tolerated but may cause mild side effects like stomach pain or diarrhea. Proper hygiene and handwashing help prevent reinfection. Always follow your doctor’s instructions for the best results.
