How does Ovex treat threadworm?"

Ovex threadworm treatments contain an active ingredient called mebendazole.
Mebendazole is a type of medication known as “anthelmintics”.
These kinds of medications work by keeping the small, thread-like worms that have caused your infection from absorbing the sugars they need to live, effectively starving them.
This means that when you take Ovex, your infection should clear within a couple of days, as the worms begin to die off.
Threadworm, which is also known as pinworm, is an uncomfortable condition that’s usually more common in children than adults.
It happens when your large intestine becomes infected with little, parasitic threadworms, making you feel uncomfortable and itchy.
You may not notice any symptoms right away, but if you or your child have threadworm then you may wake up more at night, or notice the worms in your poo.
