Question 2

What is Vermox and what does it treat?

Accepted Answer

Vermox is a brand name for mebendazole, a medication used to treat intestinal worm infections such as threadworms (pinworms), roundworms, whipworms, and hookworms.

Question 3

What is the active ingredient in Vermox?

Accepted Answer

The active ingredient in Vermox is mebendazole, which belongs to a class of medicines known as benzimidazole anthelmintics. Each standard tablet typically contains 100mg of mebendazole.

Question 4

How does Vermox work?

Accepted Answer

Vermox works by selectively and irreversibly blocking the worms from absorbing glucose, their primary source of energy. This causes the worms to lose their energy supply and die within a few days.

Question 5

What is the recommended dosage for Vermox?

Accepted Answer

For threadworms, the standard dose for adults and children over 2 is a single 100mg tablet, repeated after 2 weeks if required. For roundworms and hookworms, it is 100mg twice daily for three consecutive days.

Question 6

What are the common side effects of Vermox?

Accepted Answer

Common side effects may include mild stomach pain or abdominal discomfort, flatulence (wind), and diarrhoea.

Question 7

Do I need to treat my whole family for threadworms?

Accepted Answer

Yes, health experts recommend treating every member of the household at the same time if one person has threadworms, even if they do not have symptoms, to prevent reinfection.

Question 8

How long does it take for the worms to die?

Accepted Answer

The medication starts working immediately to stop the worms from absorbing sugar, and they typically die and pass out of your system within a few days.

Question 9

Does Vermox kill worm eggs?

Accepted Answer

No, mebendazole only kills the adult worms. It does not kill the eggs. This is why strict hygiene and often a second dose after two weeks are necessary to clear the infection fully.
