What Does Combantrin Do To The Body?

How long after taking medication do worms die?

Treatment usually includes medication plus hygiene measures. Medication kills the worms but not their eggs, which can survive for two weeks. Therefore, you also need strict hygiene measures for two weeks after taking medication to prevent you from swallowing eggs which may cause a new infection.

Does Combantrin kill all worms?

Combantrin is only effective against adult worms, which means any eggs or immature worms inside the body might still linger after the initial treatment.

How Should I Take Combantrin?

You should take Combantrin exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Take this medication by mouth with or without food, usually once as a single dose or as directed by your doctor. This medication may be taken with milk or fruit juice. If you are self-treating for pinworms, take the medication once only. Do not repeat the dose without talking with your doctor first. For patients taking Combantrin for pinworms, Pinworms may be easily passed from one person to another, especially among persons in the same household. Therefore, all household members may have to be treated at the same time to prevent their infection or reinfection. Also, all household members may have to be treated again in 2 to 3 weeks to clear up the infection completely.
