How long does it take for vermox to kill pinworms with only 2 tablets?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Few days: Mebendazole kills worms in a few days and may need a repeat dose in two weeks if symptoms persist. Vermox is still such a great medication because it works so well with just one or two doses.
