What are anti-worm medications?

Anti-worm medications or anthelmintics destroy the gut parasitic worms. The risk factors of parasitic infections are frequent travel, exposure to contaminated food, poor hygiene, and drinking unsafe, polluted water. The anthelmintics work directly and destroy the worms by damaging their nervous system and energy metabolism.

The parasite becomes paralysed and dies. A dead parasite is then passed out in the stool. They also relieve stomach pain. Many anti-worm medicines are taken as a single dose. Taking the next dose after a two-week break breaks the parasitic cycle and prevents reinfection. Our blog titled, 'What are threadworms?' may be interesting for you.

Why buy anti-worm medications to treat worm infection from Welzo?

Worm infections are not life-threatening. They can, however, cause severe disruptions. They cause symptoms such as persistent anal itching, disturbed sleep, irritability, and abdominal discomfort. They also affect work, school, and overall wellbeing. They can reduce appetite and concentration in children. They also spread rapidly among siblings and classmates.

Quick and effective treatment reduces the risk of reinfection. They limit spread within households, nurseries, and schools. They add easily with products from Diarrhoea Relief or Stomach & Bowel Relief when symptoms affect the wider gut.

How to use anti-worm medication?

For dosage instructions, we suggest reading the packaging leaflet carefully. It has guidelines for different body weights.
They are effective as a single dose. A second dose must be used after 2 weeks (if recommended).
We recommend treating the whole family at the same time. It is important even if only one person has symptoms. It breaks the reinfection cycle.
For children under 2 years of age, consult a doctor.
Wash hands regularly and keep fingernails trimmed. Discourage thumb-sucking and nail biting in kids.
Change nightwear and underwear regularly. Also, regularly wash your bedding with hot water.
Consult a doctor/ pharmacist for guidelines for pregnant and nursing women.

Expert Insights and Clinical Considerations

Threadworm infection is the most common parasitic infection in children. Reinfection occurs if you deworm one person and if hygiene measures are not seriously followed. Clinicians emphasise:

Treating the whole household at the same time.
Repeat the dose after 2 weeks (consult a clinician)
Maintaining strict hygiene to interrupt the lifecycle of worms

We have supportive products in our Gut Health and Detox & Cleansing collections for those who are seriously concerned about their gut health.

Anti-Worm Medication FAQs

Should I repeat a missed dose?

Do not double the dose. Take the dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is close to the next dose, skip the missed dose and take the scheduled one.

What is the safest anti-worm medication without side effects?

Mebendazole is the safest for that purpose. It kills the worm by depriving it of glucose.

How to treat worm infections during pregnancy?

Using strict hygiene measures for at least 6 weeks is the first line of action during pregnancy. Don't use medicines in the first trimester of pregnancy unless advised otherwise by the doctor. Mebendazole is safe after the first 3 months.

What are the symptoms of worm infections?

A nighttime itching around the anus, diarrhea, bloating, stomach pain, fatigue, nausea, weight loss, and worms/ eggs in the stools are the major signs.
