Mrs. Sylvester- Pinworms, also called enterobius vermicularis, is treated in pregnancy by taking pyrantel pamoate (Antiminth), then repeated after 2 weeks. In nonpregnant family members the preferred drug is usually mebendazole (Vermox). This medication may be teratogenic, thus causing birth defects, in lab animals at doses far in excess of those given to pregnant women. However, little or no research exists for human use, therefore most doctors shy away from this in pregnancy. >If left untreated what are the concerns to unborn child? Probably nothing. I suppose rare cases of transfer to the newborn baby may occur, but to my knowldege there are no reported cases of transplacental passage to a fetus. -- Ashley Hill David Ashley Hill, M.D. Associate Director Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Florida Hospital Family Practice Residency Orlando, FL http://www.gate.net/~dahmd I apologize, but I am unable to answer personal e-mail due to time constraints.
