Product description

What is the Ovex Family Pack?

Ovex Family Pack provides an easy to use, single dose treatment that effectively eliminates threadworms for the whole family.

Ovex Family Pack contains mebendazole 100mg tablets for the treatment of threadworm infections (Enterobius vermicularis). It is suitable for adults and children aged 2 years and over and is designed to help eliminate threadworms with a single dose treatment. The family pack contains four tablets, allowing multiple eligible household members to be treated at the same time to reduce the risk of reinfection.

The tablets are orange flavoured and can be chewed or swallowed, helping to ensure easier use, especially for younger family members. In some cases, crushing the tablet for administration to young children may be necessary.

While one dose is usually sufficient, the eggs may survive and cause reinfection. For complete effectiveness, all eligible family members should be treated at the same time and good hygiene practices should be followed diligently.
