		Mebendazole has a broad spectrum of anthelmintic activity and is effective in the treatment of single or mixed helminthic infestations.
		Therefore, mebendazole should not be administered during pregnancy, particularly in the first trimester, unless the potential benefit to the patient outweighs the possible risk to the fetus.
