A member asked:
Does albendazole rid of vaginal pinworms or does it only work for the intestines?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should work for both: Rectum is the natural habitat for the pinworms. However, they crawl out and lay eggs around rectum and near vaginal opening resulting in itching over these areas.
