Active Ingredient
Mebendazole USP 500 mg
Each tablet of Mebentel 500 contains 500 mg of mebendazole and is a benzimidazole class anthelmintic drug which is effective against susceptible intestinal worms.
Medicine Information
Mebendazole is capable of treating and controlling various intestinal worm infections, such as those caused by susceptible roundworms, whipworms, and hookworms, which are types of soil-transmitted helminths.
The drug disrupts the vital processes that worms which are susceptible to it need in order to survive, thus allowing the parasites to be gotten rid of from the intestinal tract.
The approach that should be taken in treatment will vary according to things like the particular parasite concerned, the patient's age, their clinical situation, and the reason for giving mebendazole.
Mebentel 500 is not a remedy that should be used in every case of a parasitic or intestinal worm infection since some parasites need different medications and management.
How to Use
Take Mebentel 500 exactly as instructed by a healthcare professional or according to the instructions for the particular treatment programme.
The treatment schedule that is suitable will depend on the type of infection, the age of the patient, local medical advice, and other individual factors. You should not repeat the treatment or use the medicine for a different infection that you suspect to be parasitic without first obtaining proper guidance.
It would be wrong to suppose that the 500 mg tablet dosage is the appropriate treatment regimen for every individual or for every worm infection.
Important Safety Information
Before you take Mebentel 500, let your healthcare professional know about your medical conditions, allergies, and any prescription medicines, non-prescription products, or supplements that you are currently using.
Before using it, you should talk to a healthcare professional about pregnancy, plans for pregnancy, breastfeeding, the treatment of young children, and any other relevant medical situations.
Mebendazole may lead to side effects in certain people, for example abdominal pain or diarrhoea. If you have a severe, ongoing, unusual or worrying reaction, it is important to get medical advice.
It is important to correctly identify the suspected worm infection or at least to make an appropriate evaluation of it since different parasites may need different treatments.
Anthelmintic Medicine Use
Mebentel 500 should be used only if Mebendazole is suitable for the specific intestinal worm infection or deworming programme.
You shouldn't take the medicine just because your symptoms are similar to a previous worm infection, and you should not use another person's treatment instructions.
Do not suppose that mebendazole treats infection caused by Strongyloides stercoralis or any other parasitic infection.
Storage and Handling
Store the Mebentel 500 in its original packaging and observe the storage conditions stated on the product provided. Guard the tablets against inappropriate storage conditions and ensure that they are out of the reach of children.
