Mebendazole is an antiparasitic medicine in the anthelmintic class. It works by stopping certain intestinal worms from taking up the sugar they need to survive, so the body can clear them.

Emverm (mebendazole) is FDA-approved to treat

Infections of the digestive tract in people 2 years of age and older caused by:

• Pinworm (Enterobius vermicularis)
• Whipworm (Trichuris trichiura)
• Roundworm (Ascaris lumbricoides)
• Hookworm (Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus)

Vermox Chewable is FDA-approved for roundworm and whipworm infections. Providers may also prescribe mebendazole for other parasitic worm infections when they judge it appropriate. Read more about parasite treatment options or mebendazole.

1. Complete a short health intake. Choose your mebendazole and answer a few questions about your health, other medicines, and why you need treatment. It takes about five minutes.
2. A licensed provider reviews it. A licensed healthcare provider reviews your answers, may follow up with you by telehealth, and decides whether mebendazole is right for you. If it is, they choose the strength and amount and send the prescription to our pharmacy.
3. Our pharmacy prepares and ships it. Our Florida pharmacists check the prescription, prepare your capsules, and ship your order by FedEx, usually within 1 to 2 business days after approval.

You are only charged the $30 provider review fee and shipping if a provider approves your prescription.

You do not have to work out your own dose. The right amount of mebendazole depends on the type of worm infection and how long treatment needs to last, so your prescriber chooses the strength and how many capsules you take.

The combination capsules contain both ivermectin and mebendazole in one capsule. They are for patients whose provider prescribes the two medicines together; your provider decides whether a single medicine or a combination fits your prescription.

Take mebendazole exactly as prescribed. Take up to the amount on your prescription label and no more. The FDA-approved labels say no fasting is needed, so mebendazole can be taken with or without food unless your provider tells you otherwise. Do not take mebendazole with metronidazole (see Warnings).

The FDA-approved mebendazole products are chewable tablets. Their labels give these doses for adults and children 2 years and older (Emverm) or 1 year and older (Vermox Chewable):

The Emverm label advises a second course of treatment if the infection is not cured three weeks after treatment. Our 200mg and 400mg capsules and the ivermectin/mebendazole combination capsules are compounded, not the labeled chewable tablets. Your provider decides whether and how to use them for your prescription.

Common side effects

• Stomach pain or diarrhea
• Nausea or vomiting
• Gas
• Loss of appetite
• Rash

Tell your provider before you take mebendazole if you

• take metronidazole. The FDA labels say to avoid taking mebendazole and metronidazole together, because of reports of serious skin reactions (Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis);
• are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding;
• have liver disease or a blood disorder;
• are allergic to mebendazole or any ingredient in the capsule.

The combination capsules also contain ivermectin. If one is prescribed, also tell your provider if you take warfarin or another blood thinner, have a weak immune system, are allergic to ivermectin, or have lived in or traveled to Central or West Africa (a Loa loa infection raises the risk of serious brain reactions with ivermectin).

Low white blood cell counts have been reported with mebendazole at higher doses and for longer than recommended for intestinal worm infections, so your provider may check your blood counts. Seizures have been reported in infants under 1 year of age.
