Vermox (Mebendazole)

Vermox is a prescription anthelmintic medication used to treat intestinal worm infections for hookworms, roundworms, pinworms, and whipworms. The active ingredient in this medication – mebendazole – works to quickly kill the worms and the worm larvae and prevent the continuing of the infection and additional health risks that come with it. Vermox dosage can vary based on the patients age and the extent to which the infection has progressed, and it is important to take the medication exactly as directed and at the right frequency in order to eliminate the worms entirely.

Directions

Standard Vermox dosage is to take the medication twice a day in the morning and evening for 3 days. If needed a follow-up treatment will begin in a few weeks, and this determination will be made by your doctor. Always take medication exactly as indicated in your prescription.

Dosage may be lowered for children.
