Taking mebendazole with other medicines and herbal supplements - Brand names: Ovex, Vermox

Cautions with other medicines

Some medicines and mebendazole can affect each other.

Check with a pharmacist or doctor if you're taking:

  • metronidazole – a medicine usually used for bacterial or protozoan infections
  • cimetidine – usually used for too much stomach acid

Mixing mebendazole with herbal remedies or supplements

There's not enough information to say that complementary medicines, herbal remedies and supplements are safe to take with mebendazole. They're not tested in the same way as pharmacy and prescription medicines. They're generally not tested for the effect they have on other medicines.

Important: Medicine safety

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you're taking any other medicines, including herbal remedies, vitamins or supplements.
