The medications used for the treatment of pinworm are either mebendazole, pyrantel pamoate, or albendazole. Any of these drugs are given in one dose initially, and then another single dose of the same drug two weeks later. Pyrantel pamoate is available without prescription. The medication does not reliably kill pinworm eggs.
Pyrantel pamoate treats pinworm infections. The dose of pyrantel pamoate given is based on the person's weight. Two doses are usually given about 14 days apart (as long as no side effects are noted after the first dose). More than the correct dose should not be given at any time.
