Mebex Suspension 30 mL

Mebex Suspension 30 mL is an oral suspension of mebendazole, an anthelmintic medicine used to treat certain intestinal worm infections. Each pack contains 30 mL of suspension with mebendazole as the active ingredient. It belongs to the benzimidazole class and works against common parasitic worms such as pinworms, roundworms, whipworms, and hookworms. Mebex Suspension 30 mL is used when a liquid dosage form is preferred for children or adults who have trouble swallowing tablets.

How it works: Mebendazole in Mebex Suspension 30 mL stops worms from taking in sugar they need to survive. Without that energy supply, the worms die and are cleared from the intestine over time.

Mebex Suspension 30 mL is a liquid form, so it can be easier to measure and swallow than tablet or chewable versions. The 30 mL pack is convenient when a prescriber wants a single measured dose or a short course in suspension form rather than a solid dosage form. Because this is a treatment strength, it should be used only as directed after a doctor has confirmed the type of worm infection.

• Pinworm infection
• Roundworm infection
• Whipworm infection
• Hookworm infection
• Mixed intestinal worm infections

• Shake Mebex Suspension 30 mL well before each dose so the medicine is evenly mixed.
• Measure the suspension carefully with an oral syringe or dosing cup, not a kitchen spoon.
• Take it exactly as prescribed; some worm infections need a single dose, while others need a short repeat course.
• It can usually be taken with or without food, unless your prescriber gives different instructions.
• Follow any household treatment advice, since reinfection can happen if close contacts are not managed.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

This product is supplied as a 30 mL suspension per pack, so the exact amount taken depends on the dose your doctor prescribes for the specific worm infection. Mebex Suspension 30 mL may be taken once or for several days depending on the diagnosis, but the total daily amount and whether a repeat dose is needed must be decided by a clinician. Do not assume the entire 30 mL pack is a standard adult dose; the correct dose for this strength is individualized.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
