Mebendazole can temporarily lower the number of white blood cells in your blood, increasing the chance of getting an infection. If you can, avoid people with infections. Check with your doctor immediately if you think you are getting an infection or if you get a fever or chills, cough or hoarseness, lower back or side pain, or painful or difficult urination.
It is important to tell your doctor if you are pregnant before taking this medicine.
For patients taking mebendazole for pinworms:
Pinworms may be easily passed from one person to another, especially among persons in the same household. Therefore, all household members may have to be treated at the same time to prevent infection or reinfection.
Some doctors may also recommend other measures to help keep your infection from returning. If you have any questions about this, check with your doctor.
For patients taking mebendazole for hookworms or whipworms:
In hookworm and whipworm infections, anemia may occur. Therefore, your doctor may want you to take iron supplements to help clear up the anemia.
It is important to take iron every day during treatment and for 6 months after you stop taking mebendazole. Do not miss any doses. If you have any questions about this, check with your doctor.
In some patients, infections may return after treatment with mebendazole. To help prevent the infection from coming back:
Wash hands and fingernails often, especially before eating and after using the toilet.
