Combantrin-1 Threadworm Tablets – The Powerful One-Dose Treatment (6 Pack)
Discover the simple yet powerful solution to threadworm infections with Combantrin-1. From Australia’s most trusted worming brand, Combantrin-1 offers a highly effective, one-tablet treatment to kill threadworms. This convenient 6-pack is perfectly suited for treating the entire family, helping you manage the infection quickly and confidently, and get everyone back to feeling comfortable.
The Science of a Single Dose: How Combantrin-1 Works
The power of Combantrin-1 lies in its active ingredient, Mebendazole. This clinically proven anthelmintic works differently from other treatments.
- Mechanism of Action: Mebendazole targets the worms’ ability to absorb glucose (sugars), which is their essential life source. By blocking their nutrient uptake, it effectively starves the worms. Over the next 2-3 days, the worms die and are then passed out of the body naturally in a bowel movement. This targeted action has little absorption into the human body, making it a reliable treatment choice.
Combantrin-1 vs. Original Combantrin: What’s the Difference?
It’s a common question, and the answer is in the active ingredient and how it works:
- Combantrin-1: Contains Mebendazole. It works by starving the worms over a few days. The key benefit is the one-tablet, one-dose convenience.
- Original Combantrin (Orange Pack): Contains Pyrantel Embonate. It works by paralyzing the worms, causing them to lose their grip on the intestinal wall and be flushed out, often within 24 hours. Dosage is based on weight.
Both are highly effective, but Combantrin-1 offers the simplicity of a single tablet dose for adults and children over 2.
 Recognizing the Signs of a Threadworm Infection
Threadworms (or pinworms) are highly contagious and common, especially in households with young children. Key symptoms include:
- A persistent and intense itch around the anus or vagina, especially at night.
- Restless sleep, irritability, or grinding teeth during sleep.
- Loss of appetite or mild stomach discomfort.
- Occasionally, you may see tiny, white, thread-like worms (about 1cm long) in stools or on underwear.
Simple One-Dose Instructions for the Whole Family
Always read the label and use only as directed.
- For Adults & Children (2 years and over): Take ONE tablet, ONCE.
- The tablet can be swallowed whole with water or chewed. It is best to crush the tablet for young children.
- The Importance of a Follow-Up Dose: Because worm eggs can survive outside the body for up to two weeks, a follow-up dose 2-4 weeks after the initial treatment is recommended to kill any newly hatched worms and break the cycle of re-infection.
- Treating the Household: To prevent the infection from spreading, it’s crucial to treat all family members at the same time, even if they show no symptoms.
 Essential Hygiene Measures for Effective Treatment
Medication is only part of the solution. To prevent re-infection, follow these hygiene steps for two weeks:
- Wash all bed linen, towels, and sleepwear in hot water.
- Ensure everyone showers or bathes every morning.
- Keep fingernails short and clean.
- Discourage scratching and thumb-sucking.
- Encourage frequent and thorough hand washing.
Important Information & Precautions
- Do not use in children under 2 years of age.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, seek medical advice before use.
- If symptoms persist after treatment, consult your doctor.
- Keep out of reach of children.
