Talk:Mebendazole

message: The dose section is contrary to what my Pediatrician just prescribed for my child's pinworm infection. We were prescribed 2 x 100mg tablets to be taken two weeks apart. This at least partially contradicts the dose section. It appears inaccurate and has no citations.

thread_title: Different Dosage advice, lack of citation

message: Mebendazole blocks polymixin based microtubule formation, destroying the glucose uptake receptor in the nematode. This article is poorly written and incorrect.
What exactly is the mechanism of action of this drug, the article mentions both glucose uptake inhabition and preventing spindle formation, vastly different actions. Which is it? Both?

thread_title:  Mechanism of action is poorly written 

message: I agree that this is an incredibly badly written page.  What does "selectively and irreversibly blocking uptake of glucose and other nutrients in susceptible adult intestine where helminths dwell" mean?  That the drug prevents the host's intestine from absorbing these nutrients?  So it kills the patient?
The manufacturers website says that it prevents the worms taking up glucose and they die because of lack of energy.

replies: text: ? "In conclusion, the use of mebendazole, which is less toxic with no side-effects, is available and effective on Giardia intestinalis as well as intestinal nematodes, is recommended especially in the areas where giardiasis and intestinal nematodiasis are prevalent and overlap."
