Different parasites can live in the body of an adult or a child.Once inside, they begin their vital activity, change the functioning of internal organs or entire systems, due to which the immune system suffers greatly.You can fight them with the help of special anthelmintic drugs.Which antiparasitic drug to choose and how to use it will help you an infectious disease doctor.
Varieties by composition
All antiparasitic drugs can be divided into several groups.
- Medicines based on synthetic components can be prescribed for human parasites.It is possible to expel helminths after taking 2-3 tablets.But all drugs are highly toxic, and if the exact dosage is not followed, the risk of side effects increases.
- Herbal medicines.In addition to their anthelmintic effect, they stimulate the body's defenses and cleanse the intestines of toxins.The treatment turns out to be harmless, all active components are removed.
- Homeopathic remedies against parasites.Treatment with such drugs does not cause harm, but recovery may take longer.The whole course lasts several months, so you will have to wait a long time for results.
- Medicine approves antiparasitic drugs according to traditional recipes.Medicinal compounds can cleanse the body and are ideal as a preventative measure.You cannot use it alone during an acute course of the disease - the condition may worsen and complications may occur.Use only as adjuvant therapy.

Some drugs can be active against adults, so the course of treatment is repeated after two weeks.During this time, the larvae emerge from the eggs and develop into an adult organism.There are universal drugs that act on each phase of helminth development.
They separately produce antiparasitic drugs for people who can get rid of one or more of their species.Broad-spectrum drugs can get rid of all parasites.
Division by groups
Examination by a doctor will help you identify the cause of the disease and prescribe effective drugs.How to cleanse the body of parasites largely depends on the type identified.Three types of parasites can live in the human body: roundworms (nematodes), flatworms (trematodes) and tapeworms (cestodes).
The following are the best antiparasitics for roundworms.
- An effective drug is albendazole.Available in the form of tablets and suspensions, it acts at every stage of the development of parasites living in the intestines and internal organs.The transport of glucose is disrupted, the supply of nutrients to the parasitic organism is terminated and its death occurs.The drug can be prescribed in courses with a two-week break.
Antiparasitic agents active against trematodes.
- You can remove parasites from the human body using belladonna extract with ichthyol.It leads to neuromuscular paralysis of helminths, destruction of their membranes and disruption of metabolic processes.It is a broad-spectrum drug for humans, but it is most often prescribed for rare pathogens of trematodiasis.
- Hydrotalcite.Causes helminthic paralysis.Take after a meal with a small amount of water.If the drug is prescribed to be taken several times a day, the interval should be at least 5 hours.
Preparations for parasites in the human body belonging to the group of cestodes.
- Mepacrine.Before use, people are prescribed a diet and laxatives are required.One dose is enough for a positive effect.
- The antiparasitic drug Albendazole negatively affects metabolic processes in parasites and interferes with the absorption of glucose.Tablets are taken after meals;no diet or laxatives required.
- Niclosamide.The pharmaceutical drug reduces the resistance of the parasites to the digestive enzymes and they begin to be digested together with the food.Neuromuscular paralysis occurs, helminths lose their ability to move and attach to the mucosal walls.
Herbal preparations are very popular.One of them is Riol, which cleanses the body of parasites.In addition, the product removes toxins formed as a result of their vital activity, normalizes intestinal microflora and restores reduced immunity.
One cure for all
The most popular are drugs for parasites in the human body, which are active against many types of helminths.
Let's look at the broad-spectrum drugs included in the list of the most popular and effective.
- You can eliminate parasites with Carbendacym.The nervous system of the parasites is blocked and they freely release the human body.Calculation: 10 ml per 1 kg of body weight, should be taken after meals.
- The best medicine is levamisole: an anthelmintic, immunomodulatory agent that paralyzes the muscular system.One tablet is enough to flush the parasites out of the body.
- Mebendazole is the best parasite medicine because it deals with many helminths in the body.It interferes with the absorption of glucose and they stop receiving the nutrients necessary for development.Usually 1 tablet is prescribed and used again after 2 weeks.
- Niclosamide.This broad-spectrum antiparasitic drug is available in tablet form.The active substance paralyzes the neuromuscular system and the helminths come out with the feces.
- The effective drug Pirantel affects all stages of development of the parasite, except the larvae, so the course of treatment is repeated after 2 or 3 weeks.
Parasites can settle not only in a person's internal organs, but also outside them - for example, under the skin.How to eliminate the disease in this case?It is recommended to treat with ointments, sprays, creams, gels.
- Sulfur ointment.When applied to the skin, it has an antiparasitic effect, is not absorbed into the general bloodstream, and kills microbes and fungi.
- Benzyl benzoate is used to eliminate parasites - the drug has not only an antiparasitic effect, but also stops the reproduction of bacteria.Apply a thin layer to the affected area.
Medicines can also be prescribed against parasites in the human body as a preventive measure, especially for those who have pets, as well as for children attending kindergarten and school.
Precautions
Antiparasitic drugs often have a negative effect on the body.The brain, liver, kidneys, intestines and nervous system are most often affected, so it is important to follow the dosage and take into account the person's age and body weight.
To reduce the risk of side effects during the recovery period, it is better to accompany the treatment with adsorbents (they are prescribed to cleanse the body of toxins), enzyme preparations (they improve the functioning of the digestive system), vitamin and mineral complexes and immunostimulating drugs.
The most common side effects that occur as a result of taking antiparasitic medications include:
- allergic manifestations in the form of rash, cough, swelling;
- abdominal pain;
- nausea and vomiting;
- the appearance of loose stools;
- heart rhythm disorders;
- headache;
- convulsions.
If the dosage is not observed, a person will develop hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver, the processes of hematopoiesis and the functioning of the excretory system will be disturbed.
Often drugs for parasites are contraindicated for women during pregnancy and breastfeeding.Use with extreme caution in children.Piperazine is considered the safest drug.The drug has been approved for use for one year, but the active substance can only get rid of roundworms and pinworms.
Unicellular protozoa (Toxoplasma, Giardia, Trichomonas) can also live in the human body.The drug Metronidazole helps in the fight against them.The active ingredients can kill not only parasites but also microbes.It should be taken for at least 5 days.
Following the recommendations of a specialist, you can quickly and without complications get rid of unwanted residents.
