No.
It'll be better to use Bisacodyl (lactulose).
In pediatric patients, it is better to use the palmoat pyrantel by the oral track...

Answer 1

Normally there is no need to give purgative to all the children receiving antihelmintic drugs. Any child who has many roundworms leading to intestinal obstruction may need purgative along with antihelmintic drugs to expel them out at the earliest.
