Pripsen Mebendazole Tablets Pripsen Mebendazole Tablets are chewable with a pleasant orange taste & can be taken by adults & children over 2 years of age. Remember the whole family must be treated at the same time to prevent cross-infection. A Family Pack is also available. The first dose of Pripsen treats the adult threadworms, but some eggs may be left behind. The key to treatment is to break the threadworm life cycle. The second dose, taken 14 days later, treats the young worms that have hatched from these eggs, before they are old enough to have laid any eggs themselves, breaking the life cycle of the threadworm.
