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 banana-flavoured liquid family pack: six single 5ml doses in a 30ml bottle.
Why the suspension
Young children and anyone who struggles with tablets get the same 100mg mebendazole dose in a 5ml spoonful of banana-flavoured liquid — and one bottle treats a household of up to six on the same day. The most practical format for a family with small children.
How to take
One 5ml spoonful per person as a single dose, measured with the spoon or an oral syringe — shake the bottle first. 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.
How many people does one bottle treat?
Six — each dose is one 5ml spoonful. Treat everyone over 2 in the household on the same day.
