While the 100mg (6-pack) version typically requires a 3-day course for certain infections, this 500mg \"Single Dose\" (SD) tablet is engineered to treat most common intestinal worm infestations in just one day. Containing the active ingredient \u003cstrong\u003eMebendazole\u003c\/strong\u003e, it works by preventing worms from absorbing the glucose they need to survive. In South Africa, this is the preferred option for \"periodic deworming\" and for treating high-burden parasitic infestations in both adults and children over the age of one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the Product Is Used For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-Dose Deworming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Specifically indicated for the treatment of single or mixed infestations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoundworms (Ascaris):\u003c\/strong\u003e Highly effective against large intestinal roundworms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhipworms (Trichuris):\u003c\/strong\u003e Targets parasites in the large intestine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHookworms:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kills both \u003cem\u003eAncylostoma duodenale\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eNecator americanus\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePinworms\/Threadworms:\u003c\/strong\u003e Treats the common nighttime-itching parasite.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne-Day Treatment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eliminates the need for a multi-day dosing schedule, improving treatment compliance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBroad-Spectrum:\u003c\/strong\u003e Active against the most common types of intestinal parasites found in Southern Africa.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChewable \u0026amp; Versatile:\u003c\/strong\u003e The tablet is designed to be chewed, but it can also be crushed or turned into a \"soft mass\" with a little water for those who have difficulty swallowing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Efficacy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contains Mebendazole Polymorph C, the pharmaceutically preferred form for optimal gut action.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeriodic Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ideal for routine family deworming every 4 to 6 months.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eActive Ingredients\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMebendazole (500 mg):\u003c\/strong\u003e The high-strength active anthelmintic agent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExcipients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contains 34 mg of Lactose Monohydrate (important for those with lactose intolerance).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDosage Form\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003esingle-dose oral chewable tablet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQuantity \/ Size\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePack size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 Tablet.
