🧪 How Mebendazole Works
| Mechanistic Hit | Parasite Fallout |
| Binds parasite β‑tubulin | Blocks microtubule polymerisation, nutrient uptake ↓ |
| Inhibits glucose transport | Glycogen depletion, energy crash |
| Ovicidal on Ascaris & pinworm eggs | Breaks reinfection cycle |
2024 Lancet GH meta‑analysis (51 RCTs, n = 31 206) → 96 % egg‑reduction rate for Ascaris with 100 mg bid×3 days; superior to pyrantel.
