Is Albenza Pills Effective Against Pinworms?
Hi, my family and I are taking Albenza to kill pinworms. How will I know that it is working? We have taken one dose each -- my two kids took theirs on Monday this week and my husband and I took ours on Tuesday. We still have itching and are still seeing worms (that appear to be alive) in our stool. Please help.

Hello
Thanks for asking us.
Yes one dose of albendazole is enough to kill pinworms.
All of your family need another dose of albendazole after 6 months.
Do not worry ,it is the most commonly drug used world wide for deworming.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
*Always check for history of allergy before taking any medicine.
Wishing your good health
