Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.
I understand your concern and the anxiety.
You have taken sufficient medicines for the worms. It's possible that what is coming out now is the denuded mucosa of the intestine. This occurs naturally with the new tissue replacing the old and often goes unnoticed.
Please get the tissue examined in a lab to know if it is a worm or mucosa before you take more and more medicines.
You require to take another dose of Vermox after one week to kill any worms which may hatch out.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
May last variable period of time but would settle soon
Detailed Answer:
Normally it is a natural process which goes unnoticed.
There may be an excess shedding due to some gut inflammation from worms and giardiasis which would accelerate the shedding.
This may last variable period of time but hopefully would settle soon.
Wish you a good day and good health
