Brief Answer:
Can take pin x instead of albendazole in two repeated doses

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concern.

Pinworms can be treated with mebendazole, pyrantel and albendazole.

Pin x contains pyrantel and can be used to treat pinworms. She can take one dose now and take repeated dose after 2 weeks with meal.

Pin x paralyze the pinworms, so can easily flushed(cleaned) from the body.

Hope it answered to your questions.
Wish fast recovery.
