Hi,
In the case of hookworms, doctors prescribe anthelmintic drugs, such as Mebendazole or Albendazole. Triclabendazole may help treat flukes, while pin worm infections often respond well to both over-the-counter and prescription drugs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
