Product overview
About Ovex
Threadworm, dealt with in one dose: Ovex is mebendazole, the treatment pharmacists and GPs use for the itchy, wriggling, unmistakable threadworm infection that runs through nurseries, schools and then the whole family. One dose kills the worms; household hygiene stops them coming back. This is the four-tablet family pack.
Who the family pack suits
A household of four — or two people who want the second dose ready for two weeks' time. Buying the family pack rather than singles is the tidy way to make sure everyone is treated together, which is the whole secret to getting rid of threadworm for good.
How to take
One tablet per person, chewed or swallowed with water, as a single dose — everyone on the same day. If symptoms return, a second dose two weeks later catches any newly hatched worms. Suitable for adults and children over 2.
Good to know
Threadworm spreads by eggs, not by dirt — they survive for weeks on bedding, towels, toys and under fingernails, which is why everyone in the household should be treated on the same day and why the hygiene routine matters as much as the tablet. Not for under-2s, and pregnancy or breastfeeding needs a pharmacist's advice first.

Frequently asked questions
Does the whole family need treating?
Yes — threadworm eggs spread silently between household members, so everyone over 2 should take a dose on the same day, whether or not they have symptoms.
Why might I need a second dose?
Mebendazole kills the worms but not their eggs. If eggs already laid hatch and reinfect, a second dose two weeks after the first clears them.
What if there are more than four of us?
Add single Ovex tablets or the six-dose suspension so everyone is covered on the same day — that's what beats reinfection.
