Goodbye worms, Thank you Mebendazole (Antiox®)!
When my son was a toddler, his pediatrician advised us to have him dewormed. She told me that even if we made sure that my son is clean all the time and his play area, he can still get worm infections because it can be transferred from one person to another. Catching threadworms does not mean a person is ‘dirty’. Threadworm infections are highly contagious, and infection can occur no matter how clean a person is, or how much care is taken to avoid it.
Once at home, sharing food with the household, touching the same utensils or picking up the same item as the person with a worm infection can simply be passed on to other family members. This eventually flushes down efforts on safeguarding the health and wellness of the family. So, no matter how clean and healthy one may look, walang pinipili ang worms.
Yes, mommies, that’s right worm infections are incredibly contagious, and common in humans – especially children. They can be transmitted through either direct contact or indirect contact.
Through direct contact, worms like threadworms are easily spread by swallowing their tiny eggs (if a child puts their dirty fingers in their mouth, for example). An example of indirect contact on the other hand is when the child comes in contact with an infected surface or person. The worms often lodge under fingernails and can remain viable on items such as handles for up to 3 days.
Worms are more easily spread among kids who are into sports, because once a kid touches a ball or other sports equipment that has been used by an infected kid, chances are that kid will be infected too.
Adults can also have worms, if you spot the signs and symptoms of a worm infection in one family member, be sure to act fast and treat everyone living in the house. That includes adults of course.
Adults can also pick up the infections if one of their children is infected. Sometimes worm infections aren’t picked up in other family members because not everyone will exhibit symptoms (especially adults) – so it’s crucial to be on the safe side and treat everyone at the same time.
Worms can rob the health of any family. It can make your kid malnourished and even makes them inactive.
For us adults, we could suffer from constant health complications.
With that, I am glad there is Mebendazole (Antiox®) to help us fight worms. It is not only made for kids but also for the whole family. Taking Mebendazole (Antiox®) for deworming plus keeping our place and
ourselves clean is the closest we could do to have a worm-free community. Mebendazole (Antiox®) can be given as a single dose of 500 mg. Single dose of either 500 mg tablet or the whole 10mL of the 50mg/mL Mebendazole (Antiox®) oral suspension.
Kaya mommies, let’s do our share to make a healthy family and worm-free. Inform your friends, relatives and neighbors para sama-sama tayong puksain ang worms sa community 🙂
NOTE: Please ask for the doctor’s advise before giving Mebendazole (Antiox®)to young kids.

Just today, i saw thread worm sa poop ni baby, ilang araw ding sumasakit sakit chan nya ng pasulpot sulpot.. And finally alam na nmen ang reason. Her pedia prescribed antiox 2ml every 12hrs for 3days. And she told no need to give medicine such as diphenhydramine to make worms sleep. Anyone experienced giving diphenhydramine with antiox?
Loraine says
What if 3 yrs old po kaya.. ilang ml?
Azi dao yoamus says
Lately lang nagamit ko to sa eldest son ko..and effective naman kasi hindi na sya ng rereklamo sa pwet nya..
Ghing Tolibas says
Ang anak ko po hindi ko po dinideworm pero may lumabas po sa kanya na malaking bulate.
May nakapagsabi po sa akin na dahil daw po sa gatas din kaya binubulate ang bata. Totoo po kaya yun?
Mariya Bektorya says
Parang ito rin yung recommended ni Dok Bullecer, atleast once a year mag-deworming not just kids but adults too.
Bunny Ariola Gloriane says
My son is 29 months na ngayon pero never ko pa xa napupurga. natatakot kase ako, sabi kase nila mas posibilidad na dilang xa puwet xa lumabas, pwede din daw sa tenga, ilong at bunganga. kaya takot talaga ako
Carla-Mae Villamar says
Nakabasa ako kanina ng post na uminom ng yakult ung baby lumabas yong bulate? Totoo man un o hindi i think mas okay pa din na pam purga talaga ang gamitin kung gusto nating mawalan ng bulate ang mga anak natin. This Month try ko din purgahin anak ko bago mag pasukan thankyou sa tip moms, may idea kami ano magandang deworming na ipainom sa mga bata.

Every 6months ko pinapa deworm mga kids ko mommy so far wala naman ako nakukuhang worm sa kanila. yan din ang gamit kong pang pa deworm sa kanila mommy kaya naman highly recommended talaga para sa mommy at maiwasan ang pagkakaroon ng worm sa tummy ng anak.

Mommy levy. Speaking of deworming. Gusto ko gawin sa dlwang anak ko .kaso natatakot ako. Diko po alam kung bakit! Payat po kase sila.
Mommy Levy says
please consult your pedia first mommy
Aiza Gregorio says
Mukang ok ito momshie.. Pwede kaya yan sa 4yrs old kong anak. Payat kasi siya pero malakas na man kumain. Kaya iniisip k baka may bulate nga siya.. May binigay na man sa center na gamot pang deworm kaso di ko pinainom kasi natakot din ako.. Itry ko ito momshie.. Pero pacheck up ko muna ung anak ko para mas ok..
Shary Alberts says
Oo momsh Levy. Parte na siguro ng buhay natin ung worm infection. Sabi mo nga “walang pinipili ang worms”. Pero kahit na ganito dapat stay clean pa rin at healthy. At may mga way na rin how to fight worms. Thanks momsh for sharing. 😊 Let’s push the worm-free community. 🤗🤗🤗
