Anthelmintic agent

Anthelmintic is a medicinal substance or chemical agent used to combat helminths (worms) that are parasitic in the human body. Helminths can cause various diseases, such as ascariasis, trichinosis, toxocariasis and others, and their treatment requires the use of special drugs.

The purpose of using anthelmintic drugs is to disrupt the motor ability of helminths, which leads to their elimination from the body. Anthelmintic agents can be intended for different types of helminths and have different mechanisms of action. Some of the most common anthelmintics include albendazole, befenium hydroxynaphthoate, mebendazole, niclosamide, piperazine, and praziquantel.

Albendazole is an anthelmintic that is used to treat various types of helminths, including flukes and tapeworms. It works by disrupting the metabolism of helminths, which leads to their death and elimination from the body.

Befenium hydroxynaphthoate is an anthelmintic that is used to treat hookworm and other types of helminths. It acts by disrupting the nervous system of the helminth and leads to its paralysis and elimination from the body.

Mebendazole is an anthelmintic drug that is used to treat various types of helminths, including roundworms, toxocara and others. It works by disrupting the metabolism of helminths, which leads to their death and elimination from the body.

Niclosamide is an anthelmintic drug that is used to treat cestodiasis such as tenides and diphyllobothriasis. It acts by disrupting the nutritional process of the helminth, which leads to its death and elimination from the body.

Piperazine is an anthelmintic that is used to treat ascariasis and other types of helminths. It acts by disrupting the nervous system of the helminth and leads to its paralysis and elimination from the body.

Praziquantel is an anthelmintic drug that is used to treat cestodiasis such as echinococcus and diphyllobothriasis. It acts by disrupting the nutritional process of the helminth, which leads to its death and elimination from the body.

In most cases, anthelmintics are used orally, in the form of tablets or capsules. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the type of helminths and the degree of their damage. Before using an anthelmintic, you should consult your doctor to determine the most effective drug and dosage.

However, it should be remembered that anthelmintics have certain side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache and others. If these symptoms occur, you should consult a doctor immediately.

In addition, the use of anthelmintic agents is not the only way to combat helminths. Compliance with hygiene rules, proper food preparation, caring for pets and regular disinfection of premises also play an important role.

Thus, anthelmintics are an important tool in the fight against helminths and are intended to disrupt the motor activity of helminths and expel them from the body. However, before use, you must consult your doctor and follow all recommendations regarding dosage and duration of treatment in order to achieve maximum effectiveness and avoid possible side effects.
