What is Mebendazole used for?

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Anaphylaxis: severe allergic reaction requiring immediate medical attention. - Hepatic enzyme elevation: increased liver function tests indicating possible liver stress. - Neutropenia: reduced neutrophil count that can predispose to infection.
