The Correct Way to Take Deworming Medication

For prevention, those infected with pinworms are recommended to take deworming medication every six months. Once symptoms of pinworms appear, it's the right time to take deworming medication.

According to the Ministry of Health, if someone has pinworms, the symptom is usually anal itching, especially at night. If anal itching appears, you can immediately take deworming medication to prevent it.

If symptoms are not treated promptly, pinworm infections can lead to dangerous complications, such as intestinal blockages and problems absorbing nutrients.
