Good evening. An 11-year-old child (weight 50 kg) was prescribed a dosage of Vermox 500 mg once a day for 3 days.
Is this not too high a dosage?

Vermox comes in a dose of 100 mg. Standard Dosage:
"Pinworm
100 mg (1 tablet) once. As human pinworm re-infestations are very common, it is recommended to repeat treatment after 2 and 4 weeks, especially during eradication programmes.
Ascariasis, whipworm infestations:
200 mg daily (1 tablet in the morning and 1 tablet in the evening) for 3 consecutive days."
I encourage you to consult your doctor. Your doctor may suggest a different treatment procedure than stated on the package leaflet, depending on your situation and condition.
