There are different medications, both prescribed and over the counter that can be used to treat worm infestations.

In humans, threadworm can be cured by taking a single pill.

With animals, wormers can be bought at most shops, although if it is a serious infestation, it is worth taking the animal to a veterinary clinic since some forms such as heartworm can be fatal.
