Pharmacological classification: A.12 anthelmintics, bilharzia medicines, filaricides, etc. Pharmacological action: Mebendazole is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic. It appears to affect the cytoplasmic microtubules of the tegumental or intestinal cells of parasitic worms resulting in a transport blocking of secretory vesicles. This may lead to impaired coating of the membranes followed by a decreased digestion and absorption of nutrients, eg. glucose, thereby depleting the energy level until it is inadequate for survival. Indications: Wormstop® is indicated for the treatment of single and mixed helminth infestations caused by: Nematodes such as: Trichuris trichiura (whipworm). Ancylostoma duodenale (hookworm). Necator americanus (hookworm). Ascaris lumbricoides (large roundworm). Ternidens deminutus. Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm). Strongyloides stercoralis (threadworm). Cestodes: Taenia spp (tapeworm).

A second course of treatment should be given to those patients who are still infected three to four weeks after the first course. In worm-eradication campaigns the standard course should be administered every quarter during the first year. If a helminth is not susceptible to the standard dosage, a treatment course of longer than three days and/or involving higher doses than 100 mg for tablets and 5 ml for suspension is recommended. The efficacy of Wormstop® is dependent upon the duration of physical contact between medicine and parasite.

Storage instructions:
Store in a cool dry place at or below 25 degrees C. Keep well closed.

Warnings:
Keep out of reach of children. Contra-indications: In persons who have shown hypersensitivity to mebendazole. Should not be given during pregnancy. Interactions: Concomitant treatment with cimetidine may inhibit the metabolism of the mebendazole in the liver, resulting in increased plasma concentrations of the medicine especially during prolonged treatment. In the latter case, determination of plasma concentrations is recommended in order to allow dose adjustments. Pregnancy and lactation: Should not be given during pregnancy. For infants under 2 years see "side-effects and special precautions. Side-effects and special precautions: In doses exceeding the recommended dosages, Wormstop® can cause vomiting, fever, transient neutropenia, alopecia, bone marrow suppression, raised hepatic enzymes, hepatitis and glomerular nephritis. Agranulocytosis can occur. In cases of massive infestation expulsion of worms may occasionally cause transient symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhoea. Adverse reactions: Hypersensitivity reactions such as exanthema, rash, urticaria and angio-oedema have been observed. Precautions: Usage in children below 2 years is not well documented and as there have been less frequent reports of convulsions in this age group, Wormstop® should only be given to very young children if their worm infections interfere significantly with nutritional status and physical development. Known symptoms of overdosage and particulars of its treatment: In the event of accidental overdosage, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea may occur. If poisoning or excessive overdosage is suspected it is recommended, on general principles, that vomiting be induced or gastric lavage be performed, and such symptomatic supportive therapy be administered as appears indicated. Activated charcoal may be given.
