Pills<unk>  programmes for children usually administer an anthelmintic drug such as albendazole or mebendazole (or praziquantel in a weight based or height based dose for schistosomiasis). The treatment is given as a single dose in a pill formulation. Other drugs used, though not approved by the WHO, include pyrantel pamoate, piperazine, piperazine citrate, tetrachloroethylene, and levamisole. In<unk>  programs, all children are given the medication, whether they are infected or not. In endemic areas, the<unk>  needs to be repeated regularly. The frequency of the treatment depends on the prevalence and severity of infection which is determined by periodic surveys but is usually required annually. Accompanying measures To increase the benefits of<unk>  and to lower the rate of reinfection, accompanying measures of<unk>  programmes should include water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) interventions. A good example for such a combined intervention is the Essential Health Care Program implemented by the Department of Education in the Philippines: This national programme combines twice annual<unk>  of school children with group handwashing with soap at set times of the day at the school premises. This so-called "Fit for School" approach has also been implemented in Indonesia in 2014.
