Hello, my name is Stephen and I have been doing some private research on pyrantel.
All that I can find is that it is a de-worming agent. However, your question implies that the animal drug pyrantel can be used for parasites in humans. It appears it is possible, but the animal preparations of the drug I would not consider safe to administer to a person.
So yes, if it was from a doctor for a person, and no, if it was for a pet.
