 How It Works

• Mebendazole, an anthelmintic (anti-worm) drug, is in Wormin 100 mg.
• It stops worms from taking in glucose.
• This makes the worms lose energy and die.
• The deceased worms are then naturally passed out through the stool.

 How to Use

• Take the medication exactly as your doctor told you to.
• You can take it with or without food.
• You can chew, crush, or swallow the tablet whole.
• A second dosage is generally needed two weeks after the first for pinworm illness.
• To avoid getting sick again, keep your hygiene up.
• In rare circumstances, all family members may need treatment.

Pregnancy Interaction

• Not a good idea to use during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester.
