Ovex Single Tablet is a convenient and effective treatment for threadworm (pinworm) infections, suitable for both adults and children over 2 years of age. Each tablet contains 100 mg of mebendazole, an anthelmintic agent that works by inhibiting the uptake of glucose by the worms, leading to their eventual death.
Threadworm infections are highly contagious and can spread rapidly within households. Ovex Single Tablet provides a single-dose treatment, making it an ideal solution for managing outbreaks. The tablet is orange-flavored and can be chewed or swallowed whole, with the option to crush it for younger children who may have difficulty swallowing.
It is recommended that all family members (except pregnant or breastfeeding women and children under 2 years) be treated simultaneously to prevent reinfection. In cases where reinfection occurs, a second dose may be administered after two weeks.
