Doctor gave me a prescription for 1000 mg x 14 days. Pharmacy said it was a compound. Compound pharmacy says buy over the counter Pin-X.
Pin-X ingredients are below. I am confused because ( ) says equivalent to 250 mg pyrantel base. So am I getting 720.5 mg per tablet or only 250 mg?
Pyrantel pamoate ..................................720.5 mg (equivalent to 250 mg pyrantel base)
Anyone else able to get this at a regular pharmacy?

My daughter did prescription pyrantel pamoate chewables. You can get them over the counter as well but since her llmd sent a script they filled it.
Not sure what the over the counter strength is

This question never got answered and I'd like to know. The ingredients say 720.5mg per tablet but then it says equivalent to 250 mg pyrantel base. Anyone know?
