A member asked:

Is vermox better than albandozole at killing pinworms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: I had been using vermox for years & found it well accepted & effective for this problem.However, it has not been available through the pharmacies in my region for the last couple of years. Albendazole is a similar med & has worked, but requires higher dosing.
