A member asked:
I was sure i had pinworms and was going to make an appt with my dr. i needed eye surgery and was given versed and ketamine. its been 3 days with no itching. is it possible the meds killed them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There is no chance that those meds killed pinworms which are rare in adults who aren't exposed to kids. Even so, since adults have good bathroom hygiene pinworms would eventually die out without treatment as they don't reinfect themselves by ingesting the eggs.
