Mebendazole is an anti-parasitic medication used to treat intestinal worm infections such as roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and pinworms. It works by attacking the parasites where they live — in your gut — and stopping them from absorbing essential nutrients they need to survive.

Mebendazole targets a specific part of the worms' biological function. It prevents the parasites from using glucose (sugar), which is their main energy source. Without glucose, the worms quickly lose energy and die. As a result, they can no longer grow, move, or reproduce. Over a few days, your body naturally eliminates the dead parasites through bowel movements.

One of the advantages of Mebendazole 100 mg is that it stays mostly in the intestines, where the worms are. Only a small amount is absorbed into the bloodstream, which reduces the risk of side effects. This makes it a safe option for many patients, including children over two years of age.

Mebendazole usually works within a few days, but in some cases, multiple doses may be required — especially for more severe infections. It’s important to follow the prescribed dosage and complete the full course to prevent reinfection or resistance.

This medication plays a key role in treating parasitic infections and improving digestive health. If you think you may have worms or symptoms like itching, stomach pain, or diarrhea, consult your healthcare provider before taking mebendazole.
