Pyrantrin 125mg 6 Tablets: Effective Deworming Solution
Pyrantrin 125mg is a widely used anthelmintic (worm expeller) medication in Nigeria, manufactured by the reputable Neimeth International Pharmaceuticals Plc. Formulated with Pyrantel Pamoate, it is specifically designed to treat common intestinal parasitic infections such as roundworms, pinworms, and hookworms.
Why Choose Pyrantrin for Deworming?
Intestinal worms can cause fatigue, malnutrition, and stomach discomfort. Pyrantrin provides a reliable way to maintain your health:
- Fast-Acting Relief: It works as a depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent, paralyzing worms so they can be naturally expelled during bowel movements.
- Convenient Single Dose: Most treatments require just one administration.
- No Purging Required: Unlike older deworming methods, you don't need to fast or use laxatives (purging) before or after taking Pyrantrin.
- Trusted Quality: A NAFDAC-registered product (Reg. No. 04-7511) from one of Nigeria’s top pharmaceutical firms.
Pyrantrin 125mg Dosage for Adults
One of the most frequent questions Nigerians ask is: "Can I take 6 tablets of Pyrantrin at once?"

- 63kg – 75kg: 6 tablets (750mg) as a single dose.
- 76kg – 88kg: 7 tablets (875mg) as a single dose.
