Interesting point about the medical assessment aspect. Where are you located by the way?
I did some quick searching just to find out a bit about combantrin. This and this have some good information about just what you would be taking. (Side note, I’m in the US and both these are US based sources but my initial search got hits primarily from Australia so might be other people would be more comfortable with or even that provide additional aspects for consideration.)
While might go without saying here, I’ll say it anyhow, there are some indicated risks but that is all probably very conditional on the person so I would not just go out and give this a try. The other thing that I notices was that combantrin/pyrantel seems primarily to target pinworms but the information mentions it might be used to treat other types of worms. I didn’t dig deeper on that to see if perhaps other anthelmintics might be more effective for other worms.
The way it works was also a bit interesting. The drug paralyzes the worms which are then expelled duing a bowel movement. I’m not sure if that leaves open the possibility that any worm not expelled could recover and you’re still dealing with a problem. If so then perhaps a laxative after taking the pyrahtel would be a good idea. Or perhaps follow the pre colonoscopy proceedures.
For some that might not matter as one of the listed side effects of the drug is diarrhea.
Yeah albendazole might be better if you’re not a baby or otherwise medically high-risk. I think it’s probably good enough that you can give up on parasites being the root cause after trying it for a week. (Rather than being stuck on an endless journey of trying everything like the SIBO, candida, etc self-diagnoses.) The farm where I worked when my symptoms started was in Central Valley in California. The doctors I saw were at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.
