A member asked:
Will otc pinworm medication , pyrantel, work for vaginal pinworm infection? or do i need to get a prescription medication like albendazole to be sure they are eliminated from vagina? or is otc effective for digestive and vaginal pinworm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Albendazole has a higher efficacy in eliminating pinworm infestation than pyrantel pamoate. It is ideal to have whole family get treated at the same time to prevent reinfection.
