How Mebendazole Works Inside Your Body to Fight Parasites
Mebendazole is an effective antiparasitic medication that targets intestinal worms like pinworms, roundworms, whipworms, and hookworms. It works by inhibiting the parasites’ ability to absorb glucose, which is essential for their energy and survival. Without glucose, the worms become immobilized and die over time. Mebendazole acts locally in the intestines, where most parasites reside, and is minimally absorbed into the bloodstream, reducing systemic side effects. The dead worms are then naturally expelled from the body through bowel movements.
