Vermol SD

Description

Vermol SD 500mg Tablet contains Mebendazole, a powerful deworming agent used to eliminate intestinal parasites. It works by blocking the worms’ ability to absorb glucose, causing them to lose energy and die naturally inside the intestines. The dead worms are then expelled through stool without causing discomfort. It is widely used in both adults and children for quick relief from common worm infections like threadworm, roundworm, and whipworm.

Primary Uses

• Intestinal worm infections.

• Threadworm (Pinworm).

• Roundworm.

• Whipworm.

• General deworming in children and adults.

Indications

Recommended for infections caused by:

• Threadworm / Pinworm (Enterobius vermicularis).

• Whipworm (Trichuris trichiura).

How It Works

Mebendazole interferes with the parasite’s ability to absorb glucose, leading to paralysis and death of the worms. They are then passed out harmlessly through bowel movements.

FAQs

How will I know if I have worms?
Look for white thread-like worms in stool or experience anal itching, especially at night.

Can I give it to all family members?
Yes — worm infections spread easily, so doctors often recommend treating everyone in the same household.

How should I store it?
Keep at room temperature (18–25°C), away from light, moisture, and children.

Can I take it again after a week?
In pinworm infections, a second dose after 2 weeks is sometimes recommended — consult your doctor.

Doctor’s Overview

Dr. Yasir Khan (General Practitioner):
“Vermol is one of the safest and most effective deworming tablets. A single dose usually clears the infection, especially in children. However, hygiene measures and sometimes a second dose are necessary to prevent reinfection.”
