Mebendazole is an antiparasitic medication widely used in humans to treat a variety of intestinal worm infections. It works by inhibiting the parasites’ ability to absorb glucose, ultimately causing their death. One of the most common uses of Mebendazole 100mg is the treatment of pinworm (Enterobius vermicularis), a frequent infection especially in children. It is also effective against roundworm (Ascaris lumbricoides) and hookworm (Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus), both of which can cause nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal discomfort. In addition, mebendazole is used to treat whipworm (Trichuris trichiura) infections, helping relieve symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and anemia. In some cases, mebendazole may be prescribed for mixed worm infections, where multiple types of intestinal parasites are present simultaneously. Its broad-spectrum activity makes it a valuable option in regions where several parasitic infections are common. Beyond intestinal worms, mebendazole has been studied for potential benefits in treating certain tissue-dwelling parasites, although these uses are more specialized and require medical supervision. Because it is generally well tolerated and administered in simple dosing regimens, mebendazole remains a widely used and important medication for managing parasitic infections in humans.
