A single dose of this medicine will kill threadworms. However, it may not destroy their eggs, which can cause re-infection and infect other people. It is therefore strongly recommended that all members of the family (except pregnant and breastfeeding women and children under two) are treated at the same time and that precautions are taken to prevent re-infection.

In case of re-infection, a second dose can be taken after two weeks.
