Prescription Required
Description
Vermox is an oral tablet consisting of an anthelmintic drug called mebendazole. We carry the brand choice, Vermox, in 100mg.
Vermox is used to treat intestinal infections caused by worms such as the whipworm, pinworm, roundworm, and hookworm. If you have an infection caused by one or more of these worms, you may find yourself with dysentery; an intestinal infection with bloody and mucous diarrhea. You may also find a rash or itching around the rectum or vulva and in some cases, you may be able to see the worms come out in your stool.
Vermox (mebendazole) is effective at treating infections caused by worms because it is an anthelmintic drug capable of preventing newly hatched worms from growing or multiplying.
Directions
Always follow directions given to you by your doctor. Instructions can usually also be found on the prescription or prescription bottle/container.
Vermox tablets may be swallowed whole, chews, or crushed and mixed with food. Depending on your condition, you may need treatment for 1-3 days or as long as 3 weeks before the infection is cleared. Wash your hands and fingernails often, especially after using the washroom or eating a meal.

FAQs
What is Vermox?
Vermox is known as an anthelmintic or anti-worm medication. It is generally used to treat infections that are caused by worms such as whipworm, pinworm, roundworm, and hookworm.

If you have any questions regarding this medication or any inquiries in general, feel free to give us a call at our toll free number 1-877-385-8998.
Vermox, how long does it take to work?
After you have taken your first dose, this medication should start to work straight away, although it may take several days to kill all of the worms. Do take note that this medication does not kill any of the eggs; therefore you may need to take another dose 2 weeks later to help prevent further infection.
Where to buy Vermox?
While you can buy this medication from your local pharmacy you may find a much more affordable option from an online Canadian Pharmacy such as My Drug Center. We have a starting price of $35.00 for 6 pills.
How long does Vermox stay in your system?
It can take up to three days for the dead worms to pass through your system. Keep in mind that a re-infestation is always possible. Be sure to speak with your doctor if it does occur.
