Wormin 100 (Mebendazole) Tablet

Wormin 100 (Mebendazole) Tablet: Overview

Wormin 100 contains mebendazole, an antiparasitic medicine used to treat certain intestinal worm infections in adults and children when recommended by a healthcare professional. Each tablet contains 100 mg of mebendazole.

The medicine works inside the gut against susceptible worms. The correct treatment depends on the type of infection, the person’s age, medical history, and local clinical guidance.

Uses of Wormin 100 (Mebendazole) Tablet

Mebendazole interferes with the worms’ ability to use glucose, an energy source they need to survive. This helps weaken and eliminate susceptible parasites from the intestinal tract.

• Pinworm, also called threadworm, infection
• Roundworm infection
• Whipworm infection
• Hookworm infection
• Other intestinal worm infections when specifically diagnosed or recommended by a healthcare professional

How to Take Wormin 100 (Mebendazole) Tablet

Take Wormin 100 exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. The appropriate amount and duration vary according to the worm involved, the person being treated, and whether additional treatment is needed. Swallow the tablet with water, and follow any instructions provided with the prescription or package.

Mebendazole may generally be taken with or without food, but follow your healthcare professional’s directions if they differ. Do not take extra tablets, repeat treatment, or change the recommended course on your own. For suspected pinworm, household hygiene and assessment of close contacts may be discussed with a healthcare professional because reinfection can occur.

Frequently Asked Questions about Wormin 100 (Mebendazole) Tablet

What does the 100 in Wormin 100 represent?

The number 100 refers to the amount of active mebendazole in each tablet: 100 mg. It describes the tablet’s strength, not the total amount in a pack and not a recommendation to take more medicine. The number of tablets and treatment instructions should be based on the product directions and a healthcare professional’s advice.

Can Wormin 100 treat every type of worm infection?

No. Mebendazole is used for certain intestinal worms, including pinworms, roundworms, whipworms, and hookworms, but it is not appropriate for every parasite or infection outside the intestine. A clinician or pharmacist can help identify whether the symptoms and suspected worm type are suitable for treatment with Wormin 100.

Why can pinworm symptoms return after using Wormin 100?

Pinworm can return because eggs may remain on hands, bedding, clothing, or household surfaces and be swallowed again. Careful handwashing, short fingernails, regular laundering, and cleaning commonly touched items can help limit reinfection. Ask a healthcare professional whether close household contacts also need assessment or treatment.

Should I take extra Wormin 100 if I still see worms?

Do not take additional tablets or repeat a course simply because symptoms or worms remain visible. The need for further treatment depends on the parasite involved and the instructions originally provided. Contact your doctor or pharmacist for guidance, particularly if symptoms continue, become more severe, or return soon after treatment.

Can Wormin 100 cause stomach symptoms?

Yes. Abdominal discomfort, nausea, diarrhea, gas, or bloating can occur, although many people tolerate mebendazole without serious problems. Seek prompt medical help for severe or persistent abdominal symptoms, a widespread or blistering rash, yellow skin or eyes, seizures, or signs of an allergic reaction.
