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.
Treatment. Roundworm infections can be successfully treated using one of a number of medicines. The three main medicines are: mebendazole ; piperazine ; albendazole ; These are described below. Mebendazole. Mebendazole is recommended for treating roundworm infections in adults and children over the age of one. It works by stopping the roundworms using glucose (sugar). Without glucose, the cells of the roundworms lose their energy supply and quickly die. A three-day course of mebendazole is usually recommended. This involves taking one tablet twice a day. Stomach pain is the most common side effect of mebendazole. Less common side effects include: skin rash ; diarrhoea flatulence (excessive wind) Piperazine. Piperazine is recommended for babies aged 3-11 months. It's available as a powder that you dissolve in water. Most children only require a single dose. Side effects of piperazine can include: 1  stomach (abdominal) pain. 2  nausea and vomiting. 3  colic (excessive, frequent crying) 4  diarrhoea.
