Brand Names : Vanquin, viprynium
Precautions While Using This MedicineIf your
symptoms do not improve within a few days, or if they become worse, check
with your doctor.
Pyrvinium may cause your skin to be more sensitive to sunlight than it
is normally. Exposure to sunlight, even for brief periods of time, may cause
a skin rash, itching, redness or other discoloration of the skin, or a severe
sunburn. For a day or two after taking this medicine:
-
Stay out of direct sunlight, especially between the hours of 10:00
a.m. and 3:00 p.m., if possible.
-
Wear protective clothing, including a hat. Also, wear sunglasses.
-
Apply a sun block product that has a skin protection factor (SPF)
of at least 15. Some patients may require a product with a higher SPF number,
especially if they have a fair complexion. If you have any questions about
this, check with your health care professional.
-
Apply a sunblock lipstick that has an SPF of at least 15 to protect
your lips.
-
Do not use a sunlamp or tanning bed or booth.
If you have a severe reaction from the sun, check with
your doctor
.
In some patients, pinworms may return after treatment with pyrvinium. Washing
(not shaking) all bedding and nightclothes (pajamas) after treatment may help
to prevent this. Some doctors may also recommend other measures to help keep
your infection from returning. If you have any questions about this, check
with your doctor.
