Hello. My 4-year-old daughter was diagnosed with pinworms and vaginitis. The doctor wrote pyrantelum and Pimafucort. Is this the correct treatment? If vaginitis was caused by pinworms, can I use Pimafucort? I will be grateful for your reply.

In case of doubt as to the correctness of the prescribed pharmacotherapy, I encourage you to renew the consultation with the pediatrician. Pyrantelum is a drug used to combat pinworm. In order to increase the effectiveness of treatment, it is recommended to carry out the treatment in all household members. The preparation is suitable for children over 2 years of age and adults: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/65514/pyrantelum-owix-zawiesina/apteki Pimafucort is used in the short-term treatment of superficial skin diseases responding to corticosteroid treatment, but not caused by primary microbial infection, with concomitant secondary infections caused by bacteria and fungi sensitive to neomycin or natamycin. It has antibacterial, fungicidal and anti-inflammatory effects: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/61828/pimafucort-krem/apteki If the dermatitis in the vaginal area has been caused by pinworms, you can use Pimafucort, as directed by your doctor.
