Pyrantel is an anthelmintic used for the treatment of intestinal worm infections, such as pinworms, roundworms, and hookworms. It works by paralyzing the parasites' muscles, facilitating their elimination from the intestinal tract.

The medication is taken orally, as directed by a doctor, usually as a single dose or in multiple doses, depending on the type of infection. It is important for patients to follow the administration instructions and maintain proper hygiene to prevent reinfection.

Patients should be aware of potential side effects, such as nausea, abdominal pain, or diarrhea. It is important to inform the doctor of any unusual symptoms.

Common side effects include nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. In rare cases, allergic reactions or other severe reactions may occur. Patients should be informed of these risks before use.
