I took 4 tablets of Pyrantelum at a weight of 80kg, after what time will the pinworms stop moving? I took the drug around 12:00 and at 20:00 further excretes pinworms that move. Did the drug work or did something go wrong?

Pyrantelum may not be effective immediately after taking the first dose - you will certainly not notice the effect after a few hours after taking it. The drug has an effect on the muscles of roundworms by depolarizing their neuromuscular plate - it immobilizes parasites, which are then gradually excreted along with the feces. The need to repeat the course of treatment is due to the fact that the drug affects only mature forms and parasites at an early stage of development. It does not affect the larvae. Infested parasites die, but the time in which this occurs is not specified. According to the documentation for Pyrantelum: "The dose should be repeated two or three weeks after the first dose. Do not exceed the recommended dose of the drug. After 14 days from the end of treatment, control parasitological examinations should be performed. If symptoms persist after the second dose, contact your doctor." After the second dose, you should be free of parasites, but - as the leaflet says - in case of signals that the treatment may have been ineffective, you should consult a doctor. Dead parasites are excreted with the feces usually up to about a week after the end of treatment.

I would choose 7
How would I rate on a scale from 1 to 10 I would choose because the tablet tastes terrible, and the ointment stains clothes
But unfortunately the ointment stains clothes😠
