One dose is enough usually

Detailed Answer:
Hi, I am Dr Mittal. I have read your query. I think I would be able to help you.

Mostly, one dose of the medicine is enough to clear the worms unless there is a heavy infiltration.

Mostly the effect comes in the next 3 days and continues up to 7 days.

In case of heavy infestation, I recommend that you continue to take the medicine for 2 more days.

I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information helps you. Please feel free to contact us for more information. Best of luck. Dr Mittal
