A member asked:

In which time should i take vermox for killing pinworms if i want to go sleeping at 11 pm? help!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anytime: It takes some time for this neurotoxin to work its way into the large bowel where the worm lives and be absorbed. Any symptoms are unrelated to living worms, but more due to the irritating glue like material the eggs are laid in at your anus.Simple cold wash, emollients or cortisone cream helps with that.
