Description
Mebendazole is an anthelmintic (anti-parasitic) medication primarily used for the treatment of a wide variety of worm infections, such as intestinal nematodes (roundworms) and tapeworms. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as ascariasis, hookworm, whipworm, pinworm, and trichuriasis. Mebendazole works by interfering with the metabolism of the parasites, specifically by inhibiting the synthesis of microtubules within the parasite cells, which impedes their ability to absorb glucose, leading to their eventual death.
Mebendazole is typically administered orally, and it is available in both tablet and suspension forms. It has the advantage of being effective in low doses, with a broad spectrum of activity against common parasitic worms, making it a popular choice for deworming treatment.
