Various parasites can inhabit the body of an adult or child. Once inside, they begin their vital activity, changing the work of internal organs or entire systems, which is why the immune system suffers a lot. 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 infectious disease parasitologist.
Varieties in the composition
All antiparasitic drugs can be divided into several groups.
- Parasites can be prescribed drugs based on synthetic components for humans. It is possible to expel helminths after taking 2-3 tablets. But all drugs are highly toxic and if the right dose is not followed, the risk of side effects increases.
- Herbal medicines. In addition to the anthelmintic action, they stimulate the body's defenses and cleanse the intestines of toxins. The treatment turns out to be harmless, all active ingredients are removed outside.
- Homeopathic remedies against parasites. Treatment with such drugs is not harmful, but the release 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. The drug formulations are able to cleanse the body, ideal for prevention. You can not use it alone in the acute course of the disease - the condition may worsen, complications may occur. It is used only as adjunctive therapy.
Some drugs may be active in adults, so the course of treatment is repeated two weeks later. During this time, larvae emerge from the eggs, which develop into an adult organism. There are universal drugs that work in every phase of the development of helminths.
Antiparasitic drugs for humans are produced separately, which are able to get rid of one or more of their species. Broad-spectrum drugs can get rid of all parasites.
Dividing into groups
An examination by a doctor will help identify the cause of the disease and prescribe effective medications. How to cleanse the body of parasites depends largely on the identified species. 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 roundworms.
- Effective drug albendazole. Available in the form of tablets and suspensions, it acts at every stage of development of parasites that live in the intestines and internal organs. Glucose transport is disrupted, the supply of nutrients to the parasitic organism 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 a healing extract of belladonna with ichthyol. This leads to neuromuscular paralysis of helminths, to the destruction of their shell and disruption of metabolic processes. It is a broad-spectrum drug for humans, but is most commonly prescribed for rare pathogens of trematodosis.
- Hydrotalcite. Causes paralysis of helminths. Take after a meal with a little water. If the drug is prescribed to drink several times a day, then the interval should be at least 5 hours.
Preparations for parasites in the human body belonging to the group of cestodes.
- Mepacrine. Before use, a diet is prescribed for people, laxatives are needed. It is enough to take one dose to have a positive effect.
- The antiparasitic agent Albendazole adversely affects the metabolic processes inside the parasites, impairs glucose absorption. The tablets are taken after a meal, no diet or laxatives are required.
- Niclosamide. The pharmaceutical drug reduces the resistance of parasites to digestive enzymes and they begin to be absorbed with food. Neuromuscular paralysis occurs, helminths lose their 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 formed as a result of their vital activity, normalizes the intestinal microflora and restores reduced immunity.
