Which is the best medicine for deworming?

A single dose of albendazole (400mg) or mebendazole (500mg) can be given to prevent parasitic infection in adults. In the case of pregnant women, deworming medication is given after the first trimester. The medication is given twice a year in regions where the predominance of parasites is more than 50%.

How long does it take OVEX to work?

It can take up to 3 days for Ovex to kill mature threadworms and for them to be excreted in your stool. If you continue to notice active worms in your stool a week after taking Ovex you should speak to a doctor or pharmacist as they may advise you to take a second dose after 2 weeks.

Which is better albendazole or mebendazole?

Both agents were equally very effective (100% cure rate) in treating ascariasis. Albendazole was clearly more active than mebendazole against hookworm infections, both in terms of egg reduction rate (92.8% vs. 62.4%) and cure rate (81.8% vs. 17.2%).

Which medicine kills the eggs of worms?

Official Answer. Treatment with Albendazole is a single tablet, which kills the worms. There are different strengths for adults and children younger than two years of age. Because eggs can survive for a few weeks, the patient will have to take a second dose two weeks later to lessen the chance of reinfection.
