Why is Vermox prescribed?
Vermox, an antiworm
medication, kills parasites. It is used to treat
roundworm, hookworm, pinworm, whipworm, and other worm
infections.
Vermox is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask
your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
How should Vermox be used?
Vermox comes as a
chewable tablet. It usually is taken twice a day, in the
morning and evening, for 3 days or as a single
(one-time) dose. You may chew the tablets, swallow them
whole, or crush and mix them with food. Treatment may
have to be repeated in 2-3 weeks. Follow the directions
on your prescription label carefully, and ask your
doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not
understand. Take Vermox exactly as directed. Do not take
more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed
by your doctor.
What special precautions should I follow?
Before
taking Vermox,
- tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are
allergic to Vermox or any other drugs.
- tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription
and nonprescription medications you are taking,
especially carbamazepine (Tegretol), phenytoin
(Dilantin), and vitamins.
- tell your doctor if you have or have ever had
stomach or liver disease.
- tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to
become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become
pregnant while taking Vermox, call your doctor.
What should I do if I forget a dose?
Take the
missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it
is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose
and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a
double dose to make up for a missed one.
What side effects can Vermox cause?
Although
side effects from Vermox are not common, they can occur.
Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or
do not go away:
What storage conditions are needed for Vermox?
Keep Vermox in the container it came in, tightly
closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room
temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not
in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is
outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist
about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of emergency/overdose
In case of
overdose, call your local poison control center at
1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not
breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
What other information should I know?
Keep all
appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your
doctor will order certain lab tests to check your
response to Vermox.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Your
prescription is probably not refillable. If you still
have symptoms of infection after you finish the Vermox,
call your doctor. |
