Mebendazole is an antiparasitic medication commonly used to treat infections caused by intestinal worms. It works by inhibiting the parasites’ ability to absorb nutrients, helping the body clear the infection. Benefits include effectiveness, good tolerance in most patients, and availability in various strengths, including mebendazole 500mg, often used in certain treatment regimens. However, risks exist. Possible side effects include abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, and, in rare cases, liver or blood-related complications. It should not be taken without medical supervision, especially by pregnant individuals or those with liver conditions. Proper diagnosis and guidance from a healthcare professional are essential for safe use.
