Would Generic Albendazole Work For Pin Worms In Sinus Cavities?
Hello. I have pinworms in my sinus cavities. They have not been affected by Pin-x or mebendazole. Would generic Albendazole work for my condition? The other medications cleared up the worms in my bowels and genitals but not in the sinus cavities or tear ducts.

No, Albendazole has low systemic absorption. So it will not be so effective.
Alternatively systemic generic Ivermectin is a very good drug for such type of parasitic infection.
