FAQs

Who is the Ovex Family Pack for?

This Family Pack is suitable for adults. It contains four individual 100mg mebendazole tablets for the treatment of threadworms.

How do I take the Ovex Family Pack?

Read the label carefully for precise instructions. Typically, one tablet (100mg mebendazole) is taken as a single dose by adults, swallowed whole with water.

Do I need to treat all family members?

The pack contains four treatments, making it convenient for multiple people. It is recommended to treat all household members if threadworm infection is confirmed or suspected, as it is highly contagious.

Is a second dose always necessary?

The product label will advise on whether a second dose is recommended, usually taken two weeks after the first dose, to ensure all worms and eggs are eliminated. Always follow the label's guidance.

What are the side effects of mebendazole?

Common side effects can include abdominal pain and diarrhoea. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, consult a healthcare professional. Always refer to the product leaflet for a full list of side effects.

Can I take Ovex Family Pack if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

It is generally advised that pregnant or breastfeeding women consult their doctor or pharmacist before taking this medication. Mebendazole may not be suitable in all cases.

How should I store the Ovex Family Pack?

Store the tablets in their original packaging at room temperature (below 25°C), away from moisture and direct light. Keep out of reach of children.

Troubleshooting

Symptoms persist after taking the tablet

Consult the product label for re-dosing instructions. If symptoms continue after following label advice, seek medical advice from a doctor or pharmacist.

Accidental ingestion by a child

Contact a doctor or poison control center immediately. While overdose symptoms are generally mild, professional medical advice is crucial.

Tablet is difficult to swallow

Swallow the tablet with a full glass of water. If difficulty persists, consult a pharmacist for alternative medication options or administration techniques.
