What Is Mebendazole 100mg?

Mebendazole is an antiparasitic medication in the anthelmintic class, sold under the brand name Vermox. It is used to treat intestinal infections caused by parasitic worms such as pinworm, whipworm, roundworm, and hookworm. Mebendazole works by blocking the worms' ability to absorb glucose, which causes them to lose energy and die. Treatment is typically short — a single dose for pinworm or a three-day course for other worm infections.
