Yes, Ivermectin 12 mg can be used to treat pinworms, but not as a first line of treatment. Medications such as mebendazole or albendazole are what doctors tend to prescribe for pinworms. But in other instances, Ivermectin can be prescribed, especially if the other treatments don't work. It kills and paralyzes the worms. Always see a doctor before taking Ivermectin since dosage and safety will depend on your condition. Self-medication can cause side effects or misdiagnosis.
