Vermox Mebendazole Oral Suspension 30ml

• Shake the bottle before use. For oral use only.
• For threadworm: adults and children aged 2 and over take a single 5ml (100mg) dose; a second dose may be taken after 2 weeks if needed.
• For other worm infections the dose is usually 5ml twice a day for 3 days - check the leaflet.
• Because threadworms spread very easily, treat the whole household at the same time (except pregnant or breastfeeding women and children under 2) and follow careful hygiene to prevent re-infection.

Safety information

Who should not use it

Do not use if you are allergic to mebendazole or any of the ingredients, or in children under 2 (unless a doctor advises).

Warnings & precautions

Do not take with metronidazole, as the combination has been linked to a serious skin reaction. Some ingredients (for example sunset yellow, E110) may cause allergic reactions, and the medicine contains sodium. Follow the hygiene advice in the leaflet to stop the worms coming back.

Pregnancy & breastfeeding

Do not use unless your doctor advises it.

Possible side effects

Tummy discomfort, wind, nausea or diarrhoea. Rarely, allergic reactions (rash or swelling), and very rarely effects on blood counts or, in infants, convulsions.

Always read the label

This is a medicine. Always read the label and patient information leaflet before use. If symptoms persist, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
