A member asked:
Can zentel be repeated before two weeks to kill pin worms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I wouldn't bother: If you are itching it is due to a skin response, not the continued activity of the threadworms. Local application of hydrocortisone in the area will often reduce the irritation & itching as will gently cleaning the area. If you want to treat again, many do, but it is seldom needed.
