It is therefore recommended that all members of the family (except pregnant and breastfeeding women and children under 2) are treated at the same time and that precautions are taken to prevent re-infection. If symptoms continue, tell your doctor. In case of re-infection, a second tablet can be taken after two weeks. Keep all medicines out of the sight and reach of children.
