Accepted Answer

DrugDrug interaction: It's always a good idea to tell your prescribing physician & dispensing pharmacist everything you're taking. So i'm curious, how'd you get prescribed ovex? It's a brand of Mebendazole not sold in states (your listing shows marina del ray, ca) where it's known as vermox.

Accepted Answer

Getting worse ????: Threadworms (pinworms) are an only human parasite that lives quietly within the large intestines. Its irritating factor is caused by the sticky film the female lays eggs in around the anus. Many develop an intense allergic reaction/irritation from that film.  A cold wash &amp; OTC hydrocortizone cream can decrease itching. The pill may kill the parasite, but the irritation can last for weeks

Question 7

what is the difference between ovex and vermox?

Accepted Answer

Same ingredient: Ovex and Vermox are both brand names of a drug uses to treat pinworms. Vermox has been discontinued in the US. I find a listing of Ovex in the UK, apparently not available here either. Mebendazole is not available in the US, so pyrantel preparations(Pin-X or Reese's pinworm) are available OTC (no prescription needed).
Hope that helps

Question 8

i'm 31 weeks pregant can i take ovex?

Accepted Answer

Pinworms: Pregnancy category C. The safety of drugs used to treat pinworms have not been studied for pregnant women. If the infection is compromising the pregnancy (i.e. weight loss, sleeplessness) then treatment can be considered, but should be withheld until the 3rd trimester when the risk, if any, to the fetus is likely to be reduced. Hope this clears things up. DrG
