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.
A single tablet is usually sufficient for killing the worms. The exact dosage of the medicine depends on the age of the patient. Although adult pinworms can be killed with a single dose of the medication, the eggs may survive, and within a few weeks, they may hatch to produce new worms. To prevent pinworm infection recurrence, a second dose of the anti-parasitic medicine has to be taken after two weeks.
