Hi I m 12+1 pregnant, but have noticed my daughter has pin/thread worms so I gave her the required dose but now I think I have worms...I have no complications and was wondering if I could take the required dose of combantrin chocolate squares? It says on the box to consult a dr prior to use.
Combatrin which contains pyrantel, has not been assigned an official pregnancy rating. Animal studies have not shown any evidence of harm, there is no data in humans.
Only recommended when the benefit outweighs the risk.
I hope this helps
