Once you have taken Ovex, the Mebendazole gets to work immediately and kills the worms.  However, Ovex tablets may not destroy their eggs which can then cause re-infection.  It is therefore strongly recommended to treat the whole household at the same time.  If you prefer, there is an Ovex Family Pack available which contains 4 tablets.  It is also important to wash hands before eating and after every visit to the toilet, wash linens frequently and bathe daily, concentrating around the anus.  This will ensure eggs are removed and not spread.

Dosage:
Adults and children over 2 years: 1 Ovex tablet chewed or swallowed whole.
Crush the Ovex tablet before giving to young children.
Not to be given to infants under 2 years.

Important!
If you are pregnant or breast feeding, consult your doctor before taking Ovex.
If re-infection does occur, a second Ovex tablet can be taken 14 days after the first dose.
