Active substances: 100mg/5ml of mebendazole.

Dosage and method of administration:

After having fulfilled its trans-intestinal antiparasitic function, mebenzadol is practically non-absorbable and completely eliminated through the faeces, which allows the establishment of a unified dosage, regardless of special biometric parameters, i.e., kilogram of weight, age or body surface. For the above reasons, we have the following posology: Treatment of enterobiasis: A single dose of 5 ml of oral suspension for both children and adults. Given the great possibilities of reinfestation, it is recommended to repeat after 2 to 4 weeks. Treatment of ascariasis, hookworm, trichocephaliasis and mixed infestations. The usual dose of mebendazole in these cases is 5 ml of oral suspension administered in the morning and in the evening for 3 consecutive days, both for children and adults. If relapses are observed, the treatment should be repeated after 3 - 4 weeks. Treatment of Taeniasis and Strongylodiasis: Adults: Although favorable results have been obtained with the previous dosage, a dose of 5 ml, 2 to 3 times, morning and evening, for 3 days is suggested in order to increase the percentage of cure , to close to 100%. Repeat the treatment after 2 to 4 weeks. Children: 5 ml morning and evening for 3 days. Repeat the treatment after 2 to 4 weeks.

Hypersensitivity to the active substance(s) or to any of the excipients. Pregnant women or women who may be pregnant.
