Mebendazole 100mg Tablets 6 Pack | Threadworm Treatment Ireland | Chemco Pharmacy

Mebendazole 100mg — Threadworm & Worm Infection Treatment (6 Tablets)

Mebendazole 100mg is a pharmacy medicine used for the treatment of threadworm and other common intestinal worm infections. It works by preventing the worms from absorbing the sugars they need to survive. This pack contains 6 chewable tablets, suitable for treating the whole household.

Threadworm is one of the most common infections in Ireland, especially in primary school-age children. Treating all household members simultaneously is essential to prevent reinfection.

What Mebendazole Treats

• Threadworm (Enterobius vermicularis) — the most common worm infection in Ireland
• Roundworm (Ascaris lumbricoides)
• Whipworm (Trichuris trichiura)
• Hookworm

Key Features

• Contains mebendazole 100mg per tablet — same active ingredient as Vermox
• 6-tablet pack — enough for a family of 6
• Chewable tablet format — easy for children and adults
• Single-dose treatment for threadworm
• Suitable for adults and children aged 2 years and over
• Available without prescription from your pharmacy

How to Use

For threadworm: one tablet as a single dose for each household member aged 2 and over. The tablet can be chewed or swallowed whole. A second dose after 2–3 weeks is recommended as mebendazole does not kill worm eggs.

Not suitable for children under 2 years. Not recommended in pregnancy. Always read the patient information leaflet. Speak with your pharmacist if unsure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Mebendazole the same as Vermox?

Yes. Mebendazole is the active ingredient in Vermox. Both contain 100mg of mebendazole and are equally effective. Mebendazole is the generic name; Vermox is the original brand. Both are available from Chemco Pharmacy.

Why does my whole family need to be treated?

Threadworm eggs are microscopic and spread very easily — through hands, bedding, towels and surfaces. It's almost certain that if one person has threadworm, others in the household have been exposed. Treating everyone aged 2 and over at the same time — combined with thorough hygiene measures — is the only way to break the reinfection cycle.

Why does this pack contain 6 tablets?

This 6-tablet pack is designed so that an entire household can be treated in one go with a single purchase. Each person takes one tablet as a single dose, so a pack of 6 covers a family of up to 6 people. A second round of treatment is recommended 2–3 weeks later — so you may wish to keep a spare pack.

Is Mebendazole available in Ireland without prescription?

Yes. Mebendazole 100mg is available as a pharmacy medicine from Chemco Pharmacy without a prescription for adults and children aged 2 years and over.
