Warnings and Precautions when using Mebex Tablets
Please inform your doctor or pharmacist all the medicines that you you are taking or have recently taken including no prescription medications, dietary supplements,vitamins, over the counter medicines and herbal medications.
In particular tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking Metronidazole for certain infections or Cimetidine for excess stomach acidity. Concomitant use of Mebendazole and Metronidazole should be avoided. Since concomitant treatment with cimetidine may inhibit the metabolism of Mebendazole in the liver, thus resulting in increased plasma concentrations of Mebendazole, dose adjustments may be necessary.
