Doc rec only 1/2 dose mebenzadole for pinworm 200mg, cos i reacted to other med, should i take the second tab next day since no reaction or wait 1 wk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pinworms: I recommend taking the full dose now and the second dose on schedule in 2 weeks. Good hygiene after bowel movements is very important and in adults, that is sometimes all that's needed to clear the infection.
