Vermox and Mebendazole at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

Brand Vermox (mebendazole), manufactured by Janssen Inc., is available in Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand (also known as Vermazol), and Turkey.

Dosage:

Brand Vermox is commonly available in 100 mg oral tablets and a 20mg/ml oral suspension (at this pharmacy).

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and treatment duration based on your individual needs and condition.

Usage:

Vermox (mebendazole) is a prescription medicine used to treat worm infections. It prevents worms from absorbing the sugars (glucose) they need to survive. Vermox is effective against several common intestinal worms, including pinworms, roundworms, whipworms, and hookworms.

The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the specific type of worm infection. For pinworm infections, a single dose is usually adequate. For other worm infections, treatment may last for several days. It is essential to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and complete the full course of treatment, even if your symptoms improve.

For more information, please refer to the product labeling information: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2017/017481s047lbl.pdf

Mechanism of Action:
Vermox contains mebendazole, a broad-spectrum anthelmintic. It exerts its anthelmintic effect by inhibiting the formation of microtubules in the worm's intestinal cells, irreversibly blocking the uptake of glucose and other nutrients, leading to the parasite's immobilization and eventual death.

Take Vermox exactly as your doctor prescribes. Follow the instructions in the patient information leaflet that comes with your medicine. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before taking Vermox, discussing all possible aspects with your doctor or pharmacist is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions about Vermox at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com:

Why is Vermox more affordable in Canada than in the United States?

Prescription drug prices, including Vermox, are generally lower in Canada than in the US due to a combination of factors, primarily government price regulations, differing market dynamics, and other economic considerations. In Canada, provincial and federal governments negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies, which often results in lower costs compared to the US, where market forces play a more significant role.
