What is Vermox?

Vermox is an “antihelmintic,” or anti-worm, medication. It prevents worms from growing or multiplying in your body.

Vermox is used to treat infections caused by worms such as whipworm, pinworm, roundworm, and hookworm. It is also used to treat infections caused by more than one of these worms at the same time.

Information about Vermox

Follow your doctor’s instructions about treatment; about the washing of clothes, linens, and towels; and about household disinfecting. Pinworm infections are easily spread from one person to another.

Vermox tablets may be swallowed, chewed, or crushed and mixed with food.

Before taking Vermox, tell your doctor about any other medical conditions that you have.

Vermox is in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means that it is not known whether it will be harmful to an unborn baby. Do not take Vermox without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant or could become pregnant during treatment.

It is not known whether Vermox passes into breast milk and how it might affect a nursing baby. Do not take Vermox without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

Children younger than 2 years of age should not take Vermox unless otherwise directed by your doctor.

Take Vermox exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.

Take each dose with a full glass of water.

Vermox tablets may be swallowed, chewed, or crushed and mixed with food.

Take all of the Vermox that has been prescribed for you even if you begin to feel better. Your symptoms may start to improve before the infection is completely treated.

It may be up to 3 days after Vermox treatment before the worm is removed from your stomach and intestines. The amount of time it takes to cure the infection depends on how susceptible the worm is to Vermox, and how quickly your own digestive system is moving. If the infection has not been cured within 3 weeks, a second treatment may be necessary.

Fasting, laxatives, and purging will not help cure this infection.

Treatment of family members and other close contacts may be necessary. Pinworm is spread very easily to others in close contact with the infected person.

To prevent reinfection, toilets must be disinfected daily, and clothing, linens, towels, and pajamas must be changed and washed daily.

Store Vermox at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

Vermox Side effects

General

Since mebendazole is not well absorbed, few systemic side effects of vermox are reported. Side effects may be more likely and more severe in patients with underlying liver disease.
Gastrointestinal

Gastrointestinal side effects have included nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, especially when the intestinal parasite burden is great.
Hepatic

Increased liver function tests have been associated with mebendazole in patients with hepatic hydatid cysts.

Hepatic vermox side effects have included transient changes in liver function tests and granulomatous hepatitis. These side effects have been reported when mebendazole was taken for prolonged periods and at dosages substantially above those recommended.
Hematologic

Bone marrow biopsy results during mebendazole-associated leukopenia or pancytopenia have revealed hypocellularity. These effects reverse upon drug discontinuation.

Hematologic side effects of vermox are unusual and reversible, but may be severe. Profound leukopenia, often accompanied by anemia and thrombocytopenia, has been reported. Pancytopenia and neutropenia have also been reported.
Dermatologic

Dermatologic side effects of vermox have included rare reports of alopecia and angioedema. Rash, pruritus, urticaria, and flushing have also been reported.
