Took vermox monday night. thursday now, a few hours from the time that i first took it. i still see pinworms. is this normal? what do i do?

Possibly: The worms you saw may be dead or you may be seeing other dietary debris that appears to be worms. Most of us will treat using 2 doses a week apart to take care of stragglers.The vermox is a nerve toxin & very effective.Discuss with your pcp to be sure you are on the right track.
