Core Tip: Mebendazole injection is a safe and effective treatment option for elderly patients with spasmodic abdominal pain in emergency situations. It can accelerate clinical symptom disappearance, reduce the stomach weight, and improve clinical activity. Mebendazole injection can potentially be applied as a valuable treatment option that is safe for use in this vulnerable population.
