Can you give a 3 years old one dose of las-mebendazole?

Mebendazole is used to treat various types of worm infestations. According to Wikipedia, the dosage of mebendazole is 100mg taken once. This dosage is the same for adults and children (but should not be used by pregnant women). However, I am at a loss as to what the "las" part of your question relates to. Potentially, this is a form of the drug which has different dosage instructions to standard "mebendazole", so if in doubt, read the patient information leaflet in the drug packet. If still in doubt, consult your GP/family doctor. See attached link for information on "Mebendazole".
