Pinworms: The treatment for pinworms is generally very effective. It is a single tablet that is repeated in two weeks. Fastidious hand hygiene and laundering bedding and clothes is necessary to prevent re-infection. See the following link for some good info: http://www.emedicinehealth.com/pinworms/page6_em.htm
