Safely Buy Vermox Suspension ( Mebendazole ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Vermox Suspension (mebendazole) is indicated for the treatment of gastrointestinal infections caused by two types of worms: Ascaris lumbricoides (roundworm) and Trichuris trichiura (whipworm) in patients one year of age and older.

Mebendazole, the active ingredient in Vermox Suspension, is an anthelmintic medication that works by preventing newly hatched insect larvae (worms) from growing or multiplying in the body.

Use and Dosage

Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start taking mebendazole and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor. It may be chewed, swallowed whole, or crushed and mixed with food. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.

For treatment of pinworm infections, the medication is usually given as a single dose. If necessary, a second treatment may be given in a few weeks. For other types of common worm infections (such as roundworm, and hookworm), take mebendazole by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually twice a day (in the morning and the evening) for 3 days. If necessary, a second treatment may be given in a few weeks. For other types of infections, follow your doctor’s directions. Your doctor may direct you to take this medication more than twice a day and longer than 3 days.

It is very important to continue taking this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not skip any doses. Keep taking this medication until the full prescribed amount is finished, even if symptoms disappear. Stopping the medication too early may result in a return of the infection.
