Question 1

do pin x kill worms in kids?

Accepted Answer

Depends: This is an acceptable over the counter treatment for pinworms.It has no value for other "worms" that might be involved.

Question 2

can worms live through the whole entire body and can pyratel or whatever kill them???

Accepted Answer

: MOST common adult worms are in the intestinal tract and pyrantel can kill some types of worm, not all. When they are outside the intestinal tract, they are often not adult worms but they usually persist as larvae or cysts (muscle, liver, brain, etc.) and those are treated with different medications, not pyrantel. Take care.

Question 3

how long does pin-x take to kill pin worms?

Accepted Answer

A few days: These medications work pretty fast, but the symptoms may take up to a week or more to go away depending on the severity (if the skin near the anus has been scratched raw it will take about a week to heal).  If it's not gone after a week, then you may need to see your physician again.

Question 4

can zentel be repeated before two weeks to kill pin worms?

Accepted Answer

I wouldn't bother: If you are itching it is due to a skin response, not the continued activity of the threadworms. Local application of hydrocortisone in the area will often reduce the irritation &amp; itching as will gently cleaning the area. If you want to treat again, many do, but it is seldom needed.

Question 5

how long is one dose of albenza (albendazole)  active and work to kill worms in the body?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the worm: Different types of worms have different recommended dosing schedules for albendazole. Dosing can range from 1 day (for pinworms) to several weeks for other parasites (sometimes several months). A single dose starts working in a few hours. The reported half-life for a single dose is 8-12 hours, which means after 8-12 hours, half the medicine is gone from the body, or has been made non-active.

Question 6

will drinking alchol kill intestinal. worms?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps, but?: There are many kinds of intestinal worms.  Generally, worms are cured only by specific medications that target the worm, it's metabolism or in other ways cause it to die.  A belly full of alcohol perhaps will kill a worm or two if in contact long enough and in high enough concentration but don't take this as a way to treat them.  Get seen, get a proper exam and get proper treatment.

Question 7

can raw garlic kill intestinal worms?

Accepted Answer

Not reliably...: Parasites are best addressed with specific "antibiotics" aimed at them.  Testing your stool can typically identify both eggs and the worm, if present.  Speak with your doctor about your specific exposure risks and concerns so you can be ideally advised.

Question 8

what are natural ways of killing intestinal worms?

Accepted Answer

Intestinal Parasites: Conventional medical treatments can get rid parasites more quickly and with fewer side effects than most alternative treatments. Alternative treatments may be helpful along with conventional medications. However, your health care provider must find out what kind of organism is causing your problems before you start treatment.

Question 10

which natural herbs can i take to kill / or flush out worms in my bowel ?

Accepted Answer

None: What makes you think you have worms? If you really do believe this then you need stool specimens to be examined to confirm it and identify the specific parasite.
