Understanding PARASITOL starts with three details on its package: the active ingredient, the labeled use and the amount in each bottle. This guide brings those details together so you can review the product and its pack options at Mi Botiquín Latino.
What is PARASITOL?
PARASITOL is an over-the-counter (OTC) oral suspension for the treatment of pinworms. Each cherry-flavored bottle contains 1 fl oz (30 mL). Its medicine information appears in a Drug Facts panel.
Active ingredient: two numbers describing one strength
Each 1 mL contains 144 mg pyrantel pamoate, equivalent to 50 mg pyrantel base. These are not two different active ingredients or two doses to add together. One number expresses pyrantel pamoate; the other expresses its equivalent amount of pyrantel base.
When comparing information, keep the substance name, amount and unit together. Writing only “50 mg” omits information needed to interpret the strength. It also does not mean that a whole bottle contains just 50 mg.
The label defines the use
Drug Facts indicates pinworm treatment. The brand name does not extend that use to every parasite. If other worms are present before or after treatment, consult a doctor. Product information also cannot confirm an infection from a single symptom.
A bottle and a pack describe different quantities
Each bottle contains 30 mL. Mi Botiquín Latino offers this presentation in packs of 1, 2, 4 and 5 bottles. The bottle count changes; the strength per mL stays the same.
Total pack volume does not determine a dose or frequency of use. Buying more bottles does not mean you should repeat treatment. Check current price and availability when selecting an option.
A practical way to review the product
- Confirm the PARASITOL name, oral suspension format and 30 mL bottle size.
- Read the active ingredient and complete strength statement.
- Review age, weight, warnings and directions before administering.
- Select the bottle count you need without turning a pack size into a treatment schedule.
Before using PARASITOL
Read the complete Drug Facts and package insert. The label directs a single dose based on weight. Do not repeat treatment unless directed by a doctor. Do not use in children under 2 years or anyone weighing less than 25 lb unless directed by a doctor.
Ask a doctor before use if you have liver disease. If pregnant or breastfeeding, ask a health professional before use. Consult a doctor if symptoms or pinworms remain after treatment, or if other worms are present.
Abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache or dizziness may occur; consult a doctor if they persist. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Keep out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, seek medical attention or contact a Poison Control Center immediately.
