Wormin 100 (Mebendazole) Tablet: Overview

Each tablet contains 100 mg of mebendazole. Wormin 100 is available in pack sizes of 30, 60, 100, 200, or 300 tablets. Use this medicine according to the product directions or guidance from a qualified healthcare professional.

Uses of Wormin 100 (Mebendazole) Tablet

• Used to treat pinworm infections.
• Used for roundworm infections.
• May be used for whipworm infections.
• May be used for hookworm infections.
• Helps eliminate susceptible intestinal worms from the digestive tract.

How Wormin 100 (Mebendazole) Tablet Works

Mebendazole works against certain intestinal worms by interfering with their ability to use nutrients, particularly glucose. Without an adequate energy supply, the worms gradually lose their ability to survive and are cleared from the body.

The medicine acts mainly within the intestinal tract. It does not immediately relieve every symptom, and improvement can depend on the type and extent of the infection. Good hand hygiene and washing bedding and clothing can help reduce the chance of reinfection, especially with pinworms.
