Pyrantel Pamoate and pinworms

My daughter has an obvious pinworm infection and took the indicated dose of pyrantel pamoate on Saturday night. Today (monday) she saw multiple pinworms in her stool and said one may have been moving. How long does the medicine take to kill all the pinworms and how do I decide if a second dose in 2 weeks is appropriate?
Thank you!
