I am 21 years old. My weight is 48kg. And since few months I experienced itching around the anal region. I got to know it was due to pinworms after observing them in stool. Please provide me some medicine for pinworms

The most common medication used to treat pinworms is mebendazole or albendazole, are prescription medications. Consult a gastroentrologist he will recommend practicing good hygiene, to prevent the spread of infection to others. Washing your hands frequently after using the washroom to prevent reinfection or spreading the infection to others.
