About MEBEX SUSPENSION

MEBEX SUSPENSION is used to treat parasite worm infections like pinworm, whipworm, roundworm, hookworm, and other parasites. Parasitic worms are also called intestinal worms or helminths. They live in and feed on their hosts, leading to weakness and disease. Common types of intestinal worms are roundworms and flatworms, such as tapeworms and flukes.

MEBEX SUSPENSION contains ‘Mebendazole’, which works by inhibiting tubulin polymerization. This causes metabolic disruption and energy depletion in the parasite, which leads to its immobilization. Thereby, MEBEX SUSPENSION kills the susceptible helminth and treats the infection.
