OTHER INFORMATION
This brochure will tell you how to identify and treat pinworm infections effectively with pinworm medicine. Many who have pinworms do not have symptoms, however, many will have itching in and around the rectal opening. The itching may be very annoying and continued scratching can cause an irritation in this area. The itching may be prominent at night when sleeping. That is why restless sleep is sometimes a sign of pinworms, especially in children. Other symptoms include insomnia, gastrointestinal distress, irritability, enuresis (bed wetting) and secondary infection due to localized scratching. You should treat with pinworm medicine only after you have seen and identified the pinworms.Pinworms look like tiny white threads. The female pinworm is about 1/2 inch long (the male pinworm is shorter); they live in the bowel. Usually, at night, the female pinworm travels to the rectal opening and lays eggs within the skin folds around the opening. This usually takes place within 1-2 hours after the child has been put to sleep for the night. The sticky gelatin like substance in which the eggs (they are too small to see) are deposited and the movement of the female pinworm may cause annoying itching and possibly restless sleep. By checking the rectal opening at this time, you can attempt to see the pinworm as described.
Scratching will cause pinworm eggs to stick to the fingers. Reinfection will result if the fingers are placed in the mouth. The eggs, which are too small to see, contaminate whatever they come in contact with: bed clothes, underwear, toys, hands, and food touched by contaminated hands. Even eggs floating in the air can be swallowed and cause infection. Eggs deposited can survive for as long as 3 weeks. Pinworms are highly contagious; therefore, after treatment with pinworm medication you should wash hands and fingernails with soap often during the day in order to prevent spreading to others and reinfection. Wear tight underpants
both day and night. For several days after treatment clean the bedroom floor by vacuuming or damp mopping. After treatment, wash bed linens and night clothes (don't shake them). Keep toilet seats clean.Distributed by: Bionpharma Inc.
