Ovex (mebendazole) is not recommended during lactation because it is unknown whether it is secreted in breast milk.
For your question on how long will a single dose remains, it will be approximately around 15-30 hours. I would not recommend abstaining breastfeeding for more than a day.
Hope the above information helps. Thanks.
