{med_name} is used in the treatment of worm infections.
How mebex tablet works
Worms enter your child’s body when your child eats or drinks something that’s infected with a worm or its eggs. Once inside the body, these worms get attached to the inner walls of the intestines and can even enter other body organs. Mebex Tablet works by keeping the worms from absorbing sugar (glucose), thereby depleting their energy level. This causes the worms to die, following which the medicine fosters the removal of these dead worms through stools. This helps treat your child’s infection.

Expert advice FOR Mebex Tablet
- Give this medicine to your child with a fat-containing food such as milk as it enables better absorption in the body.
- Follow the prescribed dosage strictly. In case your child is prescribed to take this medicine for a few days, make sure to complete the dosage as stopping abrupting may lead to re-infection.

- All family members must be cautious and take extra care with hygiene measures for at least 6 weeks after the infection.
- Some self-care measures:
- Do not give raw or undercooked food to your child. Instead give a balanced diet, containing herbs, fruits, and spices of therapeutic value.
- Encourage your child to wash their hands with soap and water every time they use the toilet as that will help prevent cross-infection.
- Trim your child’s nails frequently to disable any source of worm infection.
- Maintain a neat space and hygiene around your child.
- Inform the doctor in case your child exhibits signs of an allergic reaction after taking the medicine. The symptoms may include rash, itching, or any other sign of infection such as fever, blood in urine and vomit, bleeding from gums, or black, red, or tarry stools.
- Mebendazole is known to elevate the levels of liver enzymes. Call your child’s doctor right away if your child exhibits any signs of a liver problem like dark urine, tiredness, upset stomach, light-colored stools, or yellow skin or eyes.

Mebendazole
Q. How can I know that my child is having a worm infection?
In worm infestations, your child may complain of an itchy bottom (rectal area), difficulty sitting, fatigue, and restless sleep due to anal itching, or persistent stomach pain with loss of appetite or frequent indigestion. Another sign of worm infection is pica in which you may notice your child eating inedible substances such as mud. Speak to your child’s doctor as soon as you notice any of these in your child. The doctor may ask for your child’s stool and blood samples on 3 different days for examination. Depending upon the reports, the doctor will decide upon the treatment and prescribe your child with medicine.
Q. How can my child become infected with intestinal worms?
Children typically develop the highest intensity of infection. The infection can be transmitted from the eggs of worms present in human feces which contaminate soil in areas with poor sanitation. These worms and their eggs can get transmitted by drinking contaminated water or by eating contaminated vegetables and fruits without washing or peeling. Your child may also get infected by playing in the soil that is contaminated with the eggs of the worms. So, when your child returns home after playing, ask them to clean up using soap and water.
Q. What does deworming mean?
Deworming is the process of killing and expelling worms from the body. Mebex Tablet is widely used for the deworming treatment of children less than 2 years of age.
