Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Vermox, or Mebendazole, is a medicine used to treat gastrointestinal infections caused by worms. It works by stopping the worms from taking in sugars, which they need for energy, eventually leading to their death. Vermox is effective against different types of worms like whipworms and roundworms. Doctors often prescribe it for both adults and children who have these infections.

Vermox should be taken by mouth, with or without food. The tablet can be chewed, swallowed whole, or crushed and mixed with food, depending on what is most comfortable. The typical dosage for adults and children to treat common worm infections is one 100 mg tablet taken twice a day for 3 consecutive days. Vermox can also be taken as a single 500 mg chewable tablet. Always follow the dosage instructions provided by a healthcare provider, as treatment may vary based on the specific type of worm infection and its severity.
The active ingredient in Vermox is Mebendazole.
Individuals with a known allergy to Mebendazole or its inactive ingredients should not take Vermox.
The most commonly reported side effects of Vermox during clinical trials were mild digestive issues such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, flatulence, and decreased appetite. Some patients also experienced skin reactions like rash. These effects were generally short-term and occurred in both adults and children treated for gastrointestinal parasitic infections.
In rare cases reported after Vermox was approved, more serious side effects have occurred. These include allergic reactions like hives, swelling, or anaphylaxis, as well as serious skin conditions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis. Other postmarketing reports have included liver issues, low white blood cell counts, dizziness, seizures, and kidney inflammation. Though uncommon, these side effects should be taken seriously and reported to a healthcare provider right away.
