What Causes Itching Sensation Around Anus After Using Zentel For Worms In Stool?

Hello.I am 29 years old and I suspect having worms. I have spotted worms in my stool and so I took zentel 400 two days ago but the itchiness around the anal area still persists. Should I take another dose? is it something to be worried about?Thanks,Archita

General & Family Physician 's  Response
You have taken treatment for roundworms. whereas you have pinworm infestation.

You need to taken albendazole (zentel 400) + Mebendazole (Mebex)+ Pyrantal palmoate (Pin X) all together on one day. take the same combination after 15 days.
Personal hygiene to be maintained to prevent its spread to other family members
