Niclosamide Drug

Mebendazole is a medication commonly used to treat infections caused by certain types of intestinal worms, including pinworms Enterobius vermicularis, roundworms Ascaris lumbricoides, whipworms Trichuris trichiura, and hookworms Necator americanus, Ancylostoma duodenale. Mebendazole is available in tablet form and is typically taken orally. Mebendazole is available both as a prescription and over-the-counter medication in some countries. In some cases, a healthcare provider may recommend treatment for all family members if one person in the household is diagnosed with a worm infection, as these infections can be highly contagious.
