Answer to Question 1
A
Feedback:
Pyrantel can be administered as a single dose, which makes it a good choice for patients who have trouble remembering to take their medications, or have trouble following medication regimens. Mebendazole requires twice-daily dosing, which makes it less optimal for a patient who has trouble with medication regimens. Ivermectin is used to treat threadworm disease (strongyloidiasis) and river blindness (onchocerciasis). Albendazole is used to treat active lesions caused by pork tapeworm and cystic disease of the liver, lungs, and peritoneum caused by dog tapeworm.
Answer to Question 2
