Various parasites can inhabit the body of an adult or child. When they go inside, they begin their vital activity, changing the work of internal organs or entire systems, causing the immune system to suffer greatly. You can fight them with the help of special anthelmintic drugs. What remedy for parasites to choose and how to use it will help the parasitologist of an infectious disease.
Varieties in the composition
All antiparasitic drugs can be divided into several groups.
- For parasites, drugs based on synthetic components can be prescribed for humans. It is possible to expel helminths after taking 2-3 tablets. But all drugs are very toxic and if the correct dose is not followed, the risk of side effects increases.
- Herbal remedies. In addition to anthelmintic action, they stimulate the body's defenses and cleanse the intestines of toxins. It turns out that the treatment is harmless, all active ingredients are removed to the outside.
- Homeopathic remedies against parasites. Treatment with such drugs is not harmful, but delivery may be delayed. The whole course lasts several months, so you will have to wait a long time for the result.
- Medicine approves antiparasitic drugs based on folk recipes. Medicinal formulations are able to cleanse the body, ideal for prophylaxis. You cannot use it alone in the acute course of the disease - the condition can get worse, complications appear. It is used only as an adjunct therapy.
Some medications can be active in adults, so the course of medication is repeated two weeks later. During this time, larvae emerge from the eggs, which develop into an adult organism. There are universal remedies that work at any stage of helminth development.
Antiparasitic drugs for humans are produced separately and can get rid of one or more of their species. Broad-spectrum drugs can get rid of all parasites.
Division into groups
A doctor's examination will help identify the cause of the disease and prescribe effective medications. How to cleanse the body of parasites largely depends on the species identified. The human body can be inhabited by three types of parasites - roundworms (nematodes), flatworms (trematodes) and tapeworms (cestodes).
The following best antiparasitic drugs help with earthworms.
- Effective drug albendazole. Available in the form of tablets and suspensions, it acts at any stage of development of parasites living in the intestines and internal organs. Glucose transport is disrupted, the parasite's supply of nutrients is stopped and its death occurs. The drug can be prescribed in courses with a two-week break.
Antiparasitic agents for trematodes.
- You can remove parasites from the human body with the help of the medicinal extract of belladonna with ichthyol. It leads to neuromuscular paralysis of helminths, to the destruction of their shell and disruption of metabolic processes. This is a broad-spectrum drug for humans, but is most commonly prescribed for rare pathogenic trematodes.
- Hydrotalcite. Causes helminth paralysis. It is taken after a meal with a little water. If the drug is prescribed to be taken several times a day, then the interval should be at least 5 hours.
Preparations for parasites in the human body, which belong to the group of cestodes.
- Mepacrine. Before use, people are prescribed a diet, they need laxatives. It is enough to take one dose for a positive effect to appear.
- The antiparasitic agent Albendazole adversely affects the metabolic processes within the parasite, disrupting glucose absorption. The tablets are taken after meals, no diet or laxatives are needed.
- Niclosamide. The pharmaceutical drug reduces the resistance of parasites to digestive enzymes and they begin to be digested by food. Neuromuscular paralysis occurs, helminths lose the ability to move and attach to the walls of the mucosa.
Herbal preparations are very popular. One of them is Riol which cleanses the body of parasites. In addition, the agent removes toxins generated as a result of their vital activity, normalizes the intestinal microflora and restores reduced immunity.
