Which Medication To Be Taken By A Baby And A Breast Feeding Mother For Pinworm?

HI, im a mother of a 10 month old baby girl. saw a pinworm when i went to the toilet the other day. Im still breastfeeding, also i suspect that my daughter has them too as she is awfully cranky at night and wakes up crying many times at night between 2-4. It affects her sleep and mine as well. please suggest what medicine i can take for the pinworms and what medicine i can give to my baby? Thank you.

Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

Albenazole oral suspension 200mg/10ml suspension= 10ml may be given to your daughter as a single dose, which will take care of pinworm/mixed infection.

For you, Albendazole 400mg tablet may be taken as a single dose; to chewed and broken into pieces in the mouth, before swallowing.


Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me, will prescribe it by the Brand name available in your country.
