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 single-tablet pack — one treatment for one person.
Who the single tablet suits
One adult treating themselves, or topping up a family pack so nobody is left out. Because the whole household should be dosed on the same day, most families buy one tablet per person — which is why this pack can be ordered up to eight at a time.
How to take
One tablet, chewed or swallowed with water, as a single dose — no fasting or laxative needed. 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.
Tablet or suspension?
Same medicine and dose. The tablet is simplest; the banana suspension suits young children and anyone who can't swallow tablets.
