Antiminth - Pyrantel pamoate

In both adults and pediatric patients older than 2 years of age, mebendazole 100 mg twice daily for 3 days is the treatment to use. An alternative agent is pyrantel pamoate (Antiminth). The stool should be checked within 2 weeks and the patient retreated when warranted. 

Pyrantel pamoate (Antiminth) is a agonist at the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, and its actions result in depolarization and spastic paralysis of the helminth muscle. Its selective toxicity occurs primarily because the neuromuscular junction of helminth muscle is more sensitive to the drug than is mammalian muscle. This drug is administered orally, and because very little is absorbed, high levels are achieved in the intestinal tract. Less than 15% of the drug and its metabolites are excreted in urine.

More effective, less toxic compounds largely have replaced older ascaricides. Mebendazole, pyrantel pamoate (Antiminth, others), and albendazole are preferred agents. Piperazine also is effective but is used less often because of occasional neurotoxicity hypersensitivity reactions. Cure with any of these drugs is achieved in nearly 100% of cases, and all infected persons should be treated.
