Honest, research-backed journalism on ivermectin, fenbendazole, HCQ, and your right to medical sovereignty. Updated daily.
A 2001 outbreak of severe skin reactions among Filipino workers in Taiwan linked mebendazole taken with metronidazole. Here is what the study found and why doctors avoid the pairing.
WHO halves the albendazole dose for children aged 12–23 months but keeps mebendazole at 500 mg. Here is why, and how a chewable tablet lowers choking risk for toddlers.
The Kato-Katz test counts worm eggs to grade infection as light, moderate or heavy. It often misses light infections, which affects how mebendazole's effectiveness is judged.
Mebendazole's dosing isn't arbitrary — single-dose and three-day regimens exist because pinworm, hookworm and whipworm live differently in the gut.
Animal studies raised early alarms about mebendazole in pregnancy, but decades of human observation tell a more measured story. Here is what the evidence actually supports, trimester by trimester.
Mebendazole works best against Trichinella worms before they leave the gut. Once larvae invade muscle, the same drug offers far less benefit.
Mebendazole reliably kills adult pinworms, but the cure often fails without simultaneous family dosing and a two-week retreatment. Here's the biology and evidence behind the full protocol.
In 2011 mebendazole moved from chewable to film-coated tablets. Here is what changed pharmacologically, and what the evidence actually shows about treatment failures.
Mebendazole kills intestinal parasites by disrupting microtubules. That same mechanism is why researchers are cautiously studying it in cancer.
