Ovex Tablets Family Pack - 4 Tablets

Ovex pack of 4 - For the treatment of enterobius vermicularis (threadworm).

• Orange flavoured chewable tablet containing Mebendazole 100mg.
• Treatment for 4 people.
• Adults and children over 2 years old.
• Orange flavoured.

Once you have taken Ovex, the Mebendazole gets to work immediately and kills the worms. However, it 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. 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.

 Do not take if:
- You are pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant, or are breast feeding,
- You have had an allergic reaction to this medicine before.

This medicine is for children over 2 years.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if:
- You are taking metronidazole or cimetidine.

If you have any other symptoms after using this product, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Keep out of the reach of children.
Always read the label.
