Mebentel 100mg Tablet contains Mebendazole 100mg, a broad-spectrum anthelmintic medicine belonging to the benzimidazole class.

Mebendazole acts primarily by interfering with tubulin formation and glucose utilization in susceptible intestinal worms. This disrupts the parasite’s energy metabolism and gradually leads to its elimination.

It may be used for several intestinal helminth infections, including infections caused by:

• Enterobius vermicularis — pinworm/threadworm
• Ascaris lumbricoides — roundworm
• Trichuris trichiura — whipworm
• Ancylostoma and Necator species — hookworms

The exact dose and duration depend on the specific infection. Mebentel 100mg should be used according to the prescribed regimen rather than assuming that one tablet is appropriate for every worm infection.

Product Information

Uses of Mebentel 100mg

Mebendazole may be prescribed for susceptible intestinal worm infections, including:

• Pinworm/threadworm infection
• Roundworm infection
• Whipworm infection
• Hookworm infection
• Certain mixed intestinal helminth infections

The appropriate treatment depends on the parasite identified or suspected and the applicable treatment guidelines.

How Mebentel 100mg Works

Mebendazole interferes with the parasite’s tubulin, an important structural protein.

This disrupts:

1. Microtubule formation
2. Nutrient uptake
3. Glucose utilization
4. Energy production within the parasite

The resulting depletion of energy interferes with parasite survival and contributes to elimination.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of mebendazole varies according to the type of worm infection.

For example, commonly used regimens can differ substantially between:

• Pinworm infection
• Roundworm infection
• Whipworm infection
• Hookworm infection
• Mixed infections

Therefore, do not assume that 100mg is the complete treatment regimen for every infection.

Administration

• Take exactly as prescribed.
• Swallow with water.
• Follow the prescribed number of tablets and treatment duration.
• It can generally be taken with or without food.
• Do not take additional tablets without medical advice.

For pinworm infection, treatment of household members and attention to hygiene may sometimes be recommended because reinfection is common.
