Mebentel 500 mg (Mebmox 500 mg)

What is Mebentel 500 mg?

Mebentel 500 mg is a premium generic version of mebendazole from Kachchela, containing the exact same active ingredient as brand-name Vermox or Emverm. It is widely trusted by U.S. doctors and families for safe, fast treatment of common intestinal parasite infections.

How It Works

Mebendazole prevents worms from absorbing glucose, causing them to lose energy and die within hours to days. Dead worms are then naturally expelled from the body in stool no harsh laxatives required.

Uses – What It’s Commonly Prescribed For

In the United States, Mebentel 500 mg is routinely prescribed for:

• Pinworm (enterobiasis) – the most common worm infection in American children and adults
• Roundworm (ascariasis)
• Hookworm (ancylostomiasis)
• Whipworm (trichuriasis)
• Mixed intestinal worm infections

Many families choose the 500 mg strength because it allows fewer tablets compared to 100 mg versions.
