People are exposed every day to the risk of being infected by parasitic life forms, as the sources of danger are common household items, food, insects and pets. Smaller parasites, invisible to the eye and their eggs can enter the body and begin their destructive effect on human health. Living in unfavorable regions in terms of ecological and sanitary standards, as well as visits to places with humid and warm climates, worsens the situation. Knowing the simplest basics of prevention can significantly reduce a person’s risk, but if there is even a minimal likelihood of infection, more effective measures need to be taken. Formal and traditional medicine offer an impressive arsenal of therapeutic and prophylactic medications and it is advisable to always have the most popular and effective medicines for parasites in the human body in your first aid kit.
Remedies for parasites
The main task of drugs for pharmaceutical production parasites is to cleanse the human body from adults, regardless of location, blocking vital functions, interrupting the reproductive cycle and destroying young worms and their larvae.
The second necessary effect of a good medicine should be the timely removal of dead pests, their metabolic products and decay from the body. At the same time, an important parameter when choosing a drug is its reduced toxicity to human tissues and organs, as the body, weakened by the action of parasitic life forms, can react to new aggressive components in the most wayunexpected. The most effective agents against parasites in the human body are of low toxicity and exhibit their activity only against foreign agents.
The choice of a suitable medicine is best left to a competent specialist. After the examination and the results of the laboratory diagnosis, he will be able to determine the exact type of parasite and prescribe the optimal medicine for each specific case. Specialist consultation is also necessary because all drugs have certain side effects and contraindications, and given the toxicity of anti-helminthic drugs, it is necessary to consider all possible risks to human health.
Given the abundance of parasitic worm forms, most drugs are effective against several varieties and belong to drugs with a wide range of effects. The advantages of this group of drugs are their effectiveness when infected with certain types of parasites, but this effect, especially in some drugs, is associated with increased toxicity. Among the drugs with a wide range of effects, there are doses for children and adults, which should be considered when buying.
Visits to exotic countries, as well as work in the food industry with animal raw materials, are fraught with identifying parasites that are atypical for the region of residence. Therapy in this case will require the use of highly targeted antiparasitic agents. This measure is a prerequisite for quality treatment and serves as protection against the toxic effects of parasitic poisons. Target drugs are prescribed only when the type of parasite is identified, as they are highly toxic and can provoke the development of poisoning.
A great advantage of modern drugs that have a pronounced antiparasitic effect is the speed of impact on the human body. Most medications in the right dose can get rid of pests with one application, which significantly reduces the risk of side effects and speeds up the rehabilitation process after the action of parasitic poisons.
Broad-spectrum drugs
Among the broad-based drugs, the best known and most effective are:
- The first drug on the list and the most toxic to humans seems to be one of the most effective active drugs against various types of intestinal parasites. This drug contains carbamic acid methyl ester, which disrupts the processes of reproduction and growth of adults, disrupts the metabolic processes of worms and contributes to their rapid death. When prescribing the drug, it is important to follow the recommended dose. A small amount will only slow down the development processes, and an excessive excess of the rate of the active substance will cause severe intoxication in humans.
- The most famous drug from the group of tetrahydropyrimidines, the effectiveness of which has been confirmed by more than a generation of people. A single dose of the drug in the right dose contributes to the rapid elimination of parasites. The active substance causes paralysis of the worm's muscular system, and the immobile parasite is easily removed from the body naturally. This drug is often used as an anti-helminthic drug in children, and is also effective in preventing helminthiasis in animals. Another important advantage of the drug is its relatively low cost.
- The active ingredient of the drug is an imidazotiazole derivative, which blocks the ability of parasites to breathe. Adult individuals begin to actively leave the body in search of oxygen, while young individuals die from its lack. Another positive effect of the drug is the increase of a person's natural immunity. The more active the defense, the less chance parasites have of surviving, as the body begins to produce its active ingredients that are effective against parasitic poisons. The drug is available in doses for adults and children and has low toxicity.
- Available in a convenient form of chewable plates, suspensions and standard tablets for oral administration. The active substance of the drug from the group of benzimidazoles acts effectively against some species of Giardia, well withstands worm infection of all species and has a relatively low toxicity. According to many experts, this drug is the best medicine for parasites in the human body in the presented group. Suitable for children and adults and does not require special instructions and precautions when taken in the recommended dose.
Target drugs
Modern diagnostic skills allow you to accurately determine the type of parasite and help your doctor prescribe the right antiparasitic agents. The most dangerous diseases are cestodosis and trematodosis. Lesions affect the internal organs - heart, liver, lungs - and lead to irreversible consequences, damaging human health and threatening life in particularly difficult cases.
Cestodes are often found in raw meat, so food workers and those who do not follow safety precautions when handling animal products are at high risk of infection. In relation to cestodes, active drugs are highly toxic drugs, so treatment is usually performed in hospital and systemic therapy is prescribed in parallel, aimed at restoring the functions of organs and systems affected by parasites. Treatment is long, complicated and expensive, so it is much easier to follow preventative measures.
Trematodes are related to the class of worms and affect the liver, lungs and organs of the circulatory system. Despite the unpleasant symptoms and a threatening diagnosis, trematodes respond well to treatment with a drug from the pyrazinineizoquinolines group. The drug is prescribed after laboratory diagnosis and has a narrow focus on this resistant parasite.
