A member asked:
Is it normal to still be excreting and seeing pinworms daily for 3 consecutive weeks while undergoing treatment with albenza and pyrentel pamoate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rare: Pin worm is treated with one dose of Albendazole 400 mg by mouth one and repeated in one week since ova are not killed so they hatch into new worms! Re infestation in Children is common! You may need to have your doctor check your stool for Ova and parasites to see if you carry some other worm or parasite!
