Mebendazole is an antiparasitic medication used to treat infections caused by intestinal worms, such as pinworms, roundworms, and tapeworms. It works by inhibiting the glucose absorption of the parasites, leading to their death.

The medication is taken orally, usually in the form of chewable tablets, and the dosage varies depending on the type and severity of the infection. It is important to follow the treatment regimen prescribed by the doctor to ensure effectiveness.

Mebendazole is well tolerated by most patients but may cause side effects such as abdominal pain, nausea, or diarrhea. In rare cases, allergic reactions may occur.

This medication is not recommended for pregnant women, especially during the first trimester, and should be used with caution in patients with severe liver conditions.
