Do not use Vermox if you are allergic to mebendazole or any other ingredients in the medication. This includes a prior history of allergic reactions like rash, itching, or swelling.
Specific Conditions Requiring Caution
- Liver disease: Consult your doctor before using Vermox if you have a history of liver problems. Mebendazole is metabolized by the liver, and impaired liver function may affect its processing. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Vermox is generally not recommended during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor before using it while breastfeeding. Children under two years old: The use of Vermox in children under two years of age should be carefully considered and only prescribed by a doctor due to potential dosage and safety concerns.
Always follow the prescribed dosage carefully. Do not exceed the recommended dose. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never double the dose.
Potential Side Effects Requiring Attention
If you experience severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or diarrhea, contact your doctor immediately. Report any unusual skin reactions, such as rashes or itching. Seek medical attention if you notice any signs of liver damage such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).
Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements. Some medications may interact with Vermox.
Storage
Store Vermox as directed on the label, typically in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
