WORMSTOP 500MG TAB (1)

Whipworm; Hookworm; Large Roundworm; Pinworm: Adults and children older than 1 year: One tablet (500 mg) given as a single dose. The tablets may be crushed and given with some liquid for children. A single dose of WORMSTOP® 500 may not be sufficient to cure infestations with hookworm and whipworm (Trichuris) although a substantial reduction in egg count can be expected. A second course of treatment should be given to those patients who are still infected three to four weeks after the first course. In worm-eradication campaigns the standard course should be administered every quarter during the first year. The efficacy of WORMSTOP® 500 is dependent upon the duration of physical contact between drug and parasite.
