mebendazole and Anemia, Iron-Deficiency

mebendazole has been researched along with Anemia, Iron-Deficiency in 14 studies

Mebendazole: A benzimidazole that acts by interfering with CARBOHYDRATE METABOLISM and inhibiting polymerization of MICROTUBULES.
mebendazole : A carbamate ester that is methyl 1H-benzimidazol-2-ylcarbamate substituted by a benzoyl group at position 5.

Anemia, Iron-Deficiency: Anemia characterized by decreased or absent iron stores, low serum iron concentration, low transferrin saturation, and low hemoglobin concentration or hematocrit value. The erythrocytes are hypochromic and microcytic and the iron binding capacity is increased.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"We assessed the effectiveness of iron+folic acid for the treatment of severe anemia [hemoglobin (Hb) <70 g/L] and the efficacy of added multivitamins and/or anthelminthics among children aged 6-24 mo in periurban Karachi, Pakistan."5.14Treatment response to iron and folic acid alone is the same as with multivitamins and/or anthelminthics in severely anemic 6- to 24-month-old children. ( Bhutta, Z; Christian, P; Klemm, R; Rah, JH; Rizvi, A; Shahid, F, 2009)
"Mebendazole treatment caused unexpected and significant reductions in wasting malnutrition and anemia in very young children with light infections."2.71Low dose daily iron supplementation improves iron status and appetite but not anemia, whereas quarterly anthelminthic treatment improves growth, appetite and anemia in Zanzibari preschool children. ( Albonico, M; Chway, HM; Jape, JK; Montresor, A; Savioli, L; Stoltzfus, RJ; Tielsch, JM, 2004)
