Pinworms after 20 days taking albendazol
Hello,
I am still seeing pinworms after taking two albendazole 400mg with a gap of 1 week between two. Its been 20 days since I took my first dose and I am still seeing worms in my stool. I have also suffered from indigestion and gastroentities since last week and was on ranidom O and sompraz L and felt little relieved as I was feeling too much heat in my stomach and stool since last week. But I want to know whether I need to take another albendazole or not? I cant tell whether the worms are dead or not but my anal itching is fairly less from before.
