Or does it need prescribing? Dd has what looks like a round worm in her poo. She hasn’t eaten bean sprouts

Yes you can get it otc
Mebendazole is a type of medicine for treating worms. It is used mainly for infections of the gut such as threadworms (sometimes known as pinworms) and other less common worm infections (whipworm, roundworm and hookworm). You can buy mebendazole from a pharmacy

Thanks. Looks like they only sell it in threadworm doses, you need more for roundworms. Plus dd reckons it’s a tapeworm so I’ve told her to go to the dr tomorrow. 🤷🏻‍♀️
