Hi,
Albendazole is drug of choice for pin worms. To remove pin worms totally and prevent recurrent infections, it's advised to repeat Albendazole dose after two weeks gap, minimum three times.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,
Apart from taking care of personal hygiene. Single dose of Mebendazole followed by a repeat dose after two weeks is needed for cure of pin worms. Also, treating all people in household, despite of symptoms, simultaneously helps.
