Can you suggest a medicine for a normal intestinal worm infection?
Asked by Female, 26 · 1 month ago
For a typical intestinal worm infection, doctors usually prescribe albendazole or mebendazole, which are effective against common worms like roundworms, pinworms, and hookworms. The dose and duration depend on your age and the type of worm. Do not self-medicate repeatedly; it is best to confirm the infection with a doctor so you get the right medicine and dose, and follow hygiene measures to prevent reinfection.
