Description

What Ovex Suspension is

Ovex Suspension is a treatment for threadworm, a contagious infection which can affect the whole family. If you’re suffering from threadworm and need a solution that will work for everyone in your household, Ovex can help. Ovex is available in packs of one tablet, a four tablet Family Pack, or this liquid suspension which provides 6 doses. One treatment is all you need to treat a threadworm infection and ease your symptoms within just a few days.

What threadworm is

Threadworm, or pinworm, is a type of infection that affects your digestive system. It happens when you come into contact with threadworm eggs and swallow them. The eggs will then hatch into tiny, thread-like worms your gut and begin to lay more eggs around your anus. When you have threadworm, some of the most common symptoms you’ll experience include:

  • White worms in your poo which look like strings of white thread
  • Itching around the anus or vagina, especially at night
  • Irritability
  • Waking up during the night
  • Weight loss
  • Wetting the bed
  • Irritation around the anus

How will the mebendazole in Ovex Suspension treat my threadworm?

Mebendazole is the active ingredient in all Ovex threadworm treatments, including Ovex Suspension. It’s a type of medication called an ‘anthelmintic’, which means it treats threadworm by depriving the worms in your system of the sugars they need to survive. Once you’ve taken a dose of mebendazole, you should see an improvement in your symptoms within just a few days, as the worms begin to die out.

Can I use this product if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?

You should not take Ovex treatments if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you think you have a threadworm infection at this time, speak to your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Uses / Instructions

  • Before using this product, shake the bottle well.
  • Use the measuring cup provided to measure a 5ml dose of Ovex liquid and swallow.
  • If your symptoms don’t go away within a few days, speak to your doctor for advice.
  • If you get a second threadworm infection, your pharmacist may recommend taking a second dose after 2 weeks have passed, but you should only do this if you have been told to do so by a medical professional.

Warnings

  • Keep out of reach of Children.
  • A single dose of this medicine will kill threadworms. However, it may not destroy their eggs, which can cause re-infection and also infect other people. It is therefore strongly recommended that all members of the family (except pregnant or breast feeding women and children under two) are treated at the same time and that precautions are taken to prevent re-infection.
  • If symptoms continue, tell your doctor.
  • In case of re-infection, a second dose can be taken after two weeks.
