How Long Does Mebendazole Take To Cure Pin Worms In Stomach?
7 year old daughter has Pinworms. Took Mebendazole 3 days ago. Pooped this afternoon and still has visibly alive worms in her stool. How long does it usually take for the meds to take full effect and kill these suckers? Thanks

HI course of mebendazole you have given is ok ,Usually it will take weeks for all the worms to get killed as larvae will be present inside and have to come out through the stools.Give plenty of fluids and repeat the course again after 2 weeks.
