Various parasites can live in the body of an adult or a child. Once inside, they begin their vital activity and alter the work of internal organs or entire systems from which immunity suffers greatly. You can fight them with the help of special anthelmintic drugs. What type of remedy for parasites to choose and how to use it helps a parasitologist with infectious diseases.
Variants in composition
All antiparasitic drugs can be divided into several groups.
- For parasites, medicines based on synthetic components can be prescribed to humans. It is possible to eradicate helminths after taking 2-3 tablets. However, all drugs are very toxic and if the exact dose is not adhered to, the risk of side effects increases.
- Herbal remedies. In addition to anthelmintic effect, they stimulate the body's defenses and cleanse the intestines of toxins. The treatment turns out to be harmless, all active ingredients are removed from the outside.
- Homeopathic medicines against parasites. Treatment with such drugs is not harmful, but ejaculation may be delayed. The whole course lasts several months, so you will have to wait a long time for the result.

Some medications may 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 drugs that work at every 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 medicine can get rid of all parasites.
Division into groups
An examination performed by a physician helps to identify the causative agent of the disease and prescribe effective drugs. How to cleanse the body of parasites depends largely 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 agents help with roundworm.
- Effective drug albendazole. Available in the form of tablets and suspensions, it acts at any stage of the development of parasites that live in the intestines and internal organs. The transport of glucose is disrupted, the supply of nutrients to the parasitic organism stops and its death occurs. The drug can be prescribed on courses with a two-week break.
Antiparasitic agents for trematodes.
- You can remove parasites from the human body using a medicinal extract of belladonna with ichthyol. It leads to neuromuscular paralysis of helminths, to 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 trematodose.
- Hydrotalcite. Causes paralysis of helminths. 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.
Preparations for parasites in the human body belonging to the group of cestodes.
- Mepacrine. Before use, a diet for humans is prescribed, laxatives are required. It is enough to take a dose for a positive effect to appear.
- The antiparasitic drug Albendazole adversely affects the metabolic processes inside the parasites, interfering with the absorption of glucose. The tablets are taken after meals, no diet or laxatives are required.
- Niclosamide. The pharmaceutical drug reduces the parasites' resistance to digestive enzymes and they begin to be digested with food. Neuromuscular paralysis occurs, helminths lose their ability to move and attach to the mucous membrane walls.
Herbal remedies are very popular. One of these is Riol, which cleanses the body of parasites. In addition, the drug removes toxins formed as a result of their vital activity, normalizes the intestinal microflora and restores impaired immunity.
