Various parasites can inhabit the body of an adult or a child. Once inside, they begin their vital activity, changing the work of internal organs or entire systems, as a result of which immunity suffers a lot. You can fight them with the help of special anthelmintic drugs. What kind of remedy to choose for parasites and how to use it will help an infectious disease parasitologist.
Variety in composition
All antiparasitic drugs can be divided into several groups.
- For parasites, drugs based on synthetic components for humans can be prescribed. It is possible to drive away helminths after taking 2-3 tablets. But all drugs are highly toxic, and if the exact dosage is not observed, the risk of side effects increases.
- Medicinal herbs. In addition to the anthelmintic action, they stimulate the body's defenses and purify the intestine of toxins. The treatment turns out to be harmless, all the active ingredients are removed from the outside.
- Homeopathic medicines against parasites. Treatment with such drugs is not harmful, but release can be delayed. The whole course lasts several months, so you will have to wait a long time for the result.

Some drugs may be active in adults, so the course of the drug is repeated two weeks later. During this time, the larvae emerge from the eggs, which develop into an adult organism. There are universal drugs that act at any stage of helminth development.
Antiparasitic drugs for humans are produced separately, which are able to get rid of one or more of their types. Broad-spectrum drugs can get rid of all parasites.
Division into groups
An examination by a doctor will help identify the causative agent of the disease and prescribe effective drugs. How to cleanse the body of parasites largely depends on the identified species. The human body can be inhabited by three types of parasites: roundworms (roundworms), flatworms (flukes) and tapeworms (tapeworms).
The following best pesticide remedies help with roundworms.
- Effective albendazole medicine. Available in the form of tablets and suspensions, it acts at any stage of development of parasites living in the intestine and internal organs. The transport of glucose is disrupted, the supply of nutrients to the parasitic organism is interrupted and its death occurs. The drug can be prescribed in courses with a two-week break.

- You can remove parasites from the human body with the help of a medicinal extract of belladonna with ichthyol. It leads to neuromuscular paralysis of helminths, the destruction of their shells and disruption of metabolic processes. This is a broad-spectrum drug for humans, but most often it is prescribed for rare pathogens of trematodosis.
- Hydrotalcite. Causes helminth paralysis. It is taken after meals with a little water. If the drug is prescribed to drink several times a day, the interval should be at least 5 hours.
