Medication details

Description

Ovex Family Pack (4 tablets)

Ovex is a widely used treatment for threadworm, the small worm infection that causes itching around the bottom, particularly at night. Although it is often thought of as a childhood problem, threadworm spreads easily within a household and affects people of all ages. The family pack contains four tablets so everyone in the home can be treated together.

How it works

The active ingredient, mebendazole, stops the worms absorbing the glucose they need to survive, so they die and are passed out naturally. It does not kill the eggs, which is the key to understanding treatment: eggs already in the home can reinfect people days later, which is why hygiene measures matter as much as the tablet and why a second dose after two weeks is often advised.

How to use it

Everyone in the household takes a dose at the same time, as directed on the pack, even those without symptoms, since infection is often silent. On the same day, wash all bedding, towels and nightwear, vacuum thoroughly and damp dust surfaces. For the following two weeks keep nails short, wash hands and scrub under nails first thing in the morning and after the toilet, and shower or bathe each morning to remove eggs laid overnight.

Who it is for

It is for adults and children as stated on the pack. It is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for children under the age stated, so ask a pharmacist about alternatives in those cases.

Safety and when to get advice

Mild abdominal discomfort or wind can occur. See a GP if the infection keeps returning despite treating the whole household and following the hygiene measures, if there is significant abdominal pain, or if worms are seen that do not look like threadworm. Our UK pharmacy team can answer questions about this product before you buy.

Common questions

Does everyone need treating?
Yes. Infection is often silent, so treating one person while others carry it means it simply comes back.

Why do I need to do all the washing?
The tablet kills worms but not eggs. Hygiene measures clear the eggs already in the home.

Do I need a second dose?
A repeat after two weeks is often advised. Ask a pharmacist for your household.

Always read the patient information leaflet supplied with the pack before use.

Directions

To maximize the effectiveness of Ovex Family Pack, follow these usage directions:
Dosage: For adults and children over 2 years of age, take one tablet as a single dose. Tablets can be crushed or chewed for easier administration.
Readministration: It is advisable to repeat the dose after two weeks to ensure the elimination of any newly hatched worms.
Children Under 2 Years: Ovex is not recommended for children under 2 years old unless advised by a healthcare professional.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult a healthcare professional before using Ovex.

Ingredients

Ovex Family Pack contains the following active ingredient:
Mebendazole (100mg per tablet): Mebendazole is an anthelmintic medication that effectively treats worm infections by disrupting the parasites' ability to absorb glucose, ultimately leading to their demise.

Side Effects

While Ovex is generally well-tolerated, it may cause certain side effects in some individuals. Common side effects include:
Gastrointestinal Discomfort: Mild abdominal pain, nausea, or diarrhea may occur.
Allergic Reactions: In rare cases, individuals may experience an allergic reaction, which can manifest as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. Seek immediate medical attention if any signs of an allergic reaction occur.

Warnings

Before using Ovex Family Pack, consider the following warnings:
Allergies: Do not take Ovex if you are allergic to mebendazole or any other ingredients in the product. If you experience an allergic reaction, discontinue use and seek medical attention.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult a healthcare professional before using Ovex. They will assess the potential benefits and risks and provide guidance accordingly.
Other Medications: Inform your healthcare provider about any other medications or supplements you are taking, as they may interact with mebendazole.
Children Under 2 Years: Ovex is not recommended for children under 2 years of age unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional.
Driving and Operating Machinery: Ovex is not known to impair driving or the ability to operate machinery. However, if you experience any side effects that affect your alertness, avoid such activities until you are feeling well.
