Vermox or generic Mebendazole is a prescription strength medication for treating roundworm infections in adults and children aged two and older. This includes tapeworms, hookworms, whipworms, thread worms, and pinworms. Once diagnosed with roundworms, your doctor may recommend that the entire family be treated as worms can be contagious and can pass from person to person through contact with contaminated surfaces or direct contact with bed sheets, towels, etc. Vermox is also available as chewable pills to make dosing children 2 years and older much easier.
