In which developed countries is pinworm medicine over-the-counter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
USA for sure: I can only answer for the us. Pyrantel pamate has been available otc for decades under a variety of brand names. As one of the most regulated medication venues in the world, i would assume lesser regulated countries have similar products available, but I have never investigated its status elsewhere.
