Description
Mebex Tablet is an anthelmintic (anti-worm) medicine manufactured by Cipla Ltd. It contains Mebendazole 100mg, a broad-spectrum antiparasitic drug used to treat and prevent various intestinal worm infections.
Mebendazole works by blocking the absorption of glucose in worms, causing them to lose energy, become paralyzed, and eventually die. The dead worms are then expelled naturally from the body. Regular use of Mebex helps in maintaining good digestive health, improving nutrient absorption, and boosting immunity—especially in children who are more prone to worm infestations.
