Hi,
Antiox is mebendazole and is safe anti-worm medicine.
It will take some time to give its full effect so there might be having live, dead tap worm or its ova and cyst.
If require give her second dose after 10-15 days if your doctor feels proper.
Keep her nails well cut and clean to avoid reinfection.
Ok and take care.
