Pin-X (Pyrantel Base).
The best way to treat pinworms is to use an over-the-counter pinworm medication, such as Pin-X ®. Formerly available by prescription only, FDA approved Pin-X ® is now available OTC. Pin-X ® usually requires only a single dose to eliminate pinworms. Because pinworms are so highly contagious, all family members should be treated. Dosing is according to patient weight... while several children can be treated with a single bottle of Pin-X ®, if there are two or more adults, two bottles may be required. Because reinfestation from existing pinworm eggs in the home is possible, many families will do a follow-up pinworm treatment at two weeks.
Labeled instructions should be followed exactly. It is estimated that about 20% of the population may have pinworms at any given time, and while some family members may not have symptoms, they may be the source for infesting and re-infesting other family members. The eggs are microscopic and easily airborne, leading to infestation by inhalation and ingestion. The Merck Manual (and other current medical literature) uses
some very strong language in recommending that the patient's entire household be treated. Everyone should be taught or reminded of the importance of good hygiene, specifically thorough hand washing after going to the restroom or playing outdoors before meals.
Pin-X® works within the intestinal tract to eliminate pinworms and their eggs. Pin-X® works within 24-48 hours, and does not readily pass into the bloodstream. Formerly available by prescription only, Pin-X® is now available over the counter.
Hope this helps.

This is not listed as a OTC drug but a natural folk remedy for intestinal parasites -- a worm remedy from Pakistan.
2 or 3 cloves garlic
1 glass warm water
Peel and chop garlic cloves very fine. Drop into a standard-size water glass and add warm water. The glass should be about two-thirds full. Stir, cover, and let stand overnight. Stir mixture again in the morning and let garlic settle to the bottom, or strain, then drink the water.

LMFAO! Yay, our government at work against big bad Cheerios. Trying to control everything. I haven't read a Cheerios box, but they don't put "Statements not approved by FDA", or something to that effect? I know places like GNC put that on all their products and the products they sell. I see these supplement companies always making claims like that. Why single out Cheerios? Down the road, most of these FDA approved drugs end up being bad for your health anyways. I'd pick Cheerios over an FDA approved drug anyday.

Yes, and you can only get your drug approved by the FDA if at has at least 7 side effects, one of which must be increased risk of suicide. Vomitting, diarhea and trouble sleeping are also recommended side effects if you want that coveted FDA approval.

Conventional Drug Use -
For those not afraid of using pharmaceutical remedies, treatment for intestinal worms is simple, cheap and effective, with a single dose of Albendazole (400mg pills), which kills the adult worms. As reinfection may occur (particularly amongst children), treatment is advised once a year, or every six months if reinfection is a big problem. Those who should not be treated by these means include: those who are already unwell for some other reason, e.g. with a fever (treatment should be delayed until they are feeling better); girls/women are pregnant (treatment should not be given during the first three months of pregnancy); those with chronic illness such as sickle cell anemia.
Alternative treatment -
1.Parasite Cleanse - If you suspect parasites, you may simply have to confirm this by taking an anti-parasite cleanse. Get from a natural, health store.
2.A common natural remedy for flushing parasites out of one's system is a blend of three herbs: Black walnut (green hull) tincture, wormwood capsules, and fresh ground cloves (to kill the parasites' eggs.
Try "PURGE PARASITIS" - from new roots herbal, and follow the instructions.
3.Zinc supplement - Tissue damaged by intestinal parasites demonstrates an enhanced recovery rate with adequate zinc intake.
Preventing Re-infection
Periodically consume curry meals (highly anti-parasitic) followed by probiotics treatment (to re-establish healthy intestinal flora).
It is a realistic approach to EXPECT to become infected by destructive parasites and to undergo a periodic (i.e. annual) parasitic cleanse, as most fresh waters globally located near human habitation ARE polluted.
Wash all fruits and vegetables in clean water before eating (to prevent roundworm and whipworm infection).
Always wear shoes or slippers (to prevent hookworm infection).
Do not use water from septic tanks or other potentially contaminated sources for watering vegetables.
Contain all fecal matter (e.g. by using a toilet or latrine, rather than "as nature intended" outside).
Teach children proper hygiene i.e. washing hands after going to the toilet, playing outside and before preparing or eating food.
