Is It Normal To See Dead Worms In Poop And Have Diarrhea After 2nd Dose Of Albenza?

Is it normal to see dead worms in your poop and have diarrhea after 2nd dose of albenza..? The only time it itches is when I shaved from dryness but not too much..and I only can see tiny white flakes from toilet paper that break easily, but only sometimes now

Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

You are apparently suffering from pinworms infestation. Loose motions occur due to the dying worms when they come in contact with albenza (Albendazole).

It is a normal occurrence due to Albendazole.

Repeat a 3 days' course of Albenza (400mg) after a week, so that the bowel is completely free from worms and their eggs.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Take care
