Dosing unusual: The dosage you are describing is not common or well-described in the drug manufacturer / FDA-approved dosing for roundworm treatment. The only time dosing is regularly given for more than 5 days is for Crusted/Norwegian Scabies. Even then, some of the days are spread out. You’re correct in that it’s typically given as a single dose. I recommend rechecking the dosing with the doctor.
