Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to the 'Ask A Doctor service'.
I have reviewed your query and below is my advice.
Your question is regarding the name of the drug to kill worms.
The albendazole and ivermectin kill most of the parasite in just a single dose. It can be repeated as per the severity of the infection.
The brand name is bandy plus which contains both these medications.
Pyrental usually not ideal for worm clearance.
However, since you're still having the worm-like sensation, I strongly suggest you investigate with stool routine micro analysis examination by concentration method to confirm the presence of the parasite in stool.
Hope I have answered your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome back.
It's advisable to investigate with stool routine microscopic examination in a nearby laboratory by a pathologist.
The self-examination of stool is not advisable.
You can give your stool sample in a nearby laboratory for routine microscopic examination.
The Bandy plus can be taken empirically as well without waiting for the report if your doctor feels that.
Usually, it doesn't lead any side effects in a single dose. However, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dizziness are some of its general side effects.
