Itching, Irregular Bowel Movements Even After Taking One Ovex Tablet. COntinue Medication?

I have taken one Ovex (mebendazole) tablet, after I found I have pin worms. 6 days later I still have itching. My bowel movements aren't regular (this isn't abnormal for me) so I don't know if they are alive in my stool, however 2 days ago there were 3 or 4 dead ones.

Can I take another tablet today or do I HAVE to wait till 2 weeks has passed.

Thanks, Liam.
