Vermox

Choosing a threadworm treatment

Vermox contains mebendazole, the same active ingredient found in other threadworm treatments — the differences are brand, format and price. Vermox comes as chewable tablets and an oral suspension (a liquid, easier for those who don't like tablets). Whichever you choose, the key to clearing threadworms is treating the whole household at once and following strict hygiene for two weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tablets or suspension — which should I choose?

Both contain mebendazole. The chewable tablets suit adults and older children, while the oral suspension (liquid) can be used from 2 years and suits those who prefer a liquid. Check age suitability on the pack.

Is Vermox different from other mebendazole treatments?

They share the same active ingredient. Choose by format, price and preference, and ask our pharmacist if unsure.

Do I need to treat the whole family?

Usually yes — threadworms spread easily, so treating everyone at once with strict hygiene gives the best chance of clearing them.
