Lupimeb

Product Overview

Lupimeb is an antiparasitic medication containing Mebendazole as its active ingredient. As part of the anthelmintic drug class, it effectively treats infections caused by intestinal worms. The medication disrupts the parasites’ glucose absorption, leading to energy depletion and subsequent elimination. Available in tablet and suspension forms, Lupimeb accommodates patients of different ages. Strict adherence to prescribed dosages and treatment duration is crucial for complete eradication of parasitic infections.

Uses

Lupimeb is indicated for treating various helminthic infections including:
• Pinworm (enterobiasis)
• Whipworm (trichuriasis)
• Roundworm (ascariasis)
• Hookworm (ancylostomiasis/necatoriasis)
The medication effectively clears worms from the digestive tract, alleviating symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, and perianal itching associated with these infections.

How to Use

For optimal results:
• Take Lupimeb exactly as prescribed
• Tablets should be swallowed whole with water
• Shake suspension thoroughly before each dose
• Administer with meals to enhance absorption and minimize gastrointestinal discomfort
Complete the full treatment course even if symptoms subside earlier to prevent reinfection.

Mechanism of Action

Mebendazole, Lupimeb‘s active component, exerts its therapeutic effect by:
1. Blocking glucose uptake in parasites
2. Depleting their energy stores
3. Causing paralysis and detachment from intestinal walls
4. Facilitating natural expulsion through feces
This metabolic disruption effectively terminates the infection while preventing worm reproduction.
