Description
Ovex Family Pack
Ovex Family Pack contains 4 single dose treatments for threadworm infections of the gut. Ovex tablets are orange flavoured, chewable tablets containing an ingredient called mebendazole, which belongs to a group of medicines called 'anthelmintics'.
Ovex tablets are suitable for adults and children aged over 2 years. As threadworms can spread very easily, it is strongly recommended that all the family (except pregnant or breastfeeding women or children under 2 years) are treated at the same time and that suitable hygiene precautions are followed to prevent re-infection.
The most obvious sign of threadworms, sometimes known as pinworm, is intense itching in the anal area, especially at night, although this does not affect everyone. If your children frequently scratch their bottoms, suffer from disturbed sleep or become irritable, it is worth checking their motions and the anal area for tiny white threads. If one member of the family has threadworms, the rest of the family may already have picked up the infection, even if they do not have obvious symptoms.
