Take by mouth as directed by a doctor; dose is usually based on body weight and type of worm infection. Can be taken with or without food; chew/swallow with water. For pinworm, a repeat dose after about 2 weeks may be advised to prevent reinfection; treat close contacts and follow hygiene measures.
