Over the counter meds for pinworms?

The standard test to check for pinworms is a Tape Test. Pinworms come out of the anus at night where the female lays eggs, this usually causes itching. Tape is applied to this area at night and the pinworms or eggs will stick to the tape. This could take a few times. There is a pill that will be prescribed that is taken in 1 dose. Please look at www.emedicinehealth.com. However if you do have them it is very easy to spread to others.
