Pin-X: Over the counter medication that should adequately treat pinworms. Just be sure to follow the instructions and repeat the dose in 10-14 days.

Variable: There are otc products available under various names and a prescription product, albendazole. We formerly had Mebendazole but that is no longer available in the us. Most will treat for two doses a week or so apart.
