Description
Vermox Syrup contains Mebendazole 100mg per 5ml, a trusted broad-spectrum deworming medicine specially designed for children and adults who prefer liquid form over tablets. It works by starving intestinal worms of essential nutrients, causing them to die and pass out naturally through stool. This syrup is ideal for treating roundworm, pinworm, whipworm, and mixed worm infections, making it a go-to choice for routine family deworming.
Primary Uses
