Is Mebex Intake Safe During Pregnancy?
My wife is having twin and is now on 29th week. Her Hemoglobin level is 8.2 and her Gynae has suggested to stop Iron Tabs (Ferrium XT 2 tabs /day) for seven days, instead she suggested to take Mebex (Mebendazole) 2tabs/day x 3 day, and to go for a test of Iron Serum Studies on the 7th day. Is it okay?

Hi,
I read your query and I understand your concerns.
Following is my reply:
1) Mebendazole helps in removing worm infestation if it is present.
2) These parasitic worms cause anemia if left untreated.
3) R=These tablets are safe and can be taken.
Let me know if you have anymore questions.
Regards,
Dr. Mahesh Koregol
