Humans are at risk of infection from parasitic life forms on a daily basis, since the sources of danger are everyday household items, food, insects and pets. The smallest, invisible to the eye, parasites and their eggs can get into the body and begin their devastating effect on human health. Living in ecologically and hygienically unfavorable regions and visiting countries with warm, humid climates exacerbate the situation. Knowing the simplest basics of prevention can significantly reduce the risk for a person, but if there is even a minimal chance of infection, it is necessary to take more effective measures. Official and traditional medicine offers an impressive arsenal of therapeutic and prophylactic medicines, and it is advisable to always have in your medicine chest the most popular and effective means against parasites in the human body.
Drugs against parasites
The main task of drugs against parasites of pharmaceutical production is to rid the human body of adults, regardless of the location, blocking vital functions, disrupting the reproductive cycle and destroying young worms and their larvae.
The second necessary effect of a good drug should be the timely removal from the body of dead pests, their metabolic products and putrefaction. At the same time, an important parameter when choosing a drug is its reduced toxicity to human tissues and organs, since the body, weakened by the action of parasitic life forms, can react in unexpected ways to new aggressive components. The most effective antiparasitic agents in the human body are of low toxicity and show their activity only against foreign substances.
The choice of a suitable drug is best left to a competent specialist. After the examination and the results of laboratory diagnostics, he can determine the exact type of parasite and prescribe the optimal drug for each. Specialist advice is also required, since all medicines have certain side effects and contraindications, and given the toxicity of anthelmintics, it is necessary to take into account all possible risks to human health.
Given the abundance of forms of parasitic worms, most drugs are effective against several species and belong to drugs with a broad spectrum of action. The advantages of this group of drugs are their effectiveness when infected with several types of parasites, but this effect, especially with some drugs, is accompanied by increased toxicity. Among drugs with a wide spectrum of action there are children's and adult dosages, which must be taken into account when buying.
Visiting exotic countries, as well as working in the food industry with raw animal raw materials is fraught with the identification of parasites atypical for the region of residence. Therapy in this case requires the use of highly targeted antiparasitic drugs. This measure is a prerequisite for high-quality treatment and serves to protect against the toxic effects of parasitic toxins. Targeted drugs are prescribed only when the type of parasite is identified, since they are very toxic and can provoke the development of intoxication.
A great advantage of modern drugs that have a pronounced antiparasitic effect is the speed of influence on the human body. Most drugs in the right dosage can get rid of pests in one application, which significantly reduces the risk of side effects and speeds up the rehabilitation process after exposure to parasitic toxins.
Broad Spectrum Drugs
Among the broad-based drugs, the most popular and effective are:
- The first drug on the list and the most toxic to humans appears to be one of the most effective drugs against various types of intestinal parasites. This drug contains carbamic acid methyl ester, which disrupts the processes of reproduction and growth in adults, disrupts the metabolic processes of worms and contributes to their rapid death. When prescribing the drug, it is important to follow the recommended dosage. A small amount only slows down the development processes, and an excessive excess of the norm of the active substance leads to severe intoxication in humans.
- The most famous drug from the group of tetrahydropyrimidines, the effectiveness of which has been confirmed by more than one 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 immobilized parasite easily leaves the body naturally. This drug is widely used as an anthelmintic in children and is also effective in preventing helminthiasis in animals. Another important advantage of the drug is its relatively low cost.
- The active substance of the drug is an imidazothiazole derivative that blocks the ability of parasites to breathe. Adults actively leave the body in search of oxygen, while younger ones die from its lack. Another positive effect of the drug is to improve a person's natural immunity. The more active the defense is, the lower the chances of the parasites surviving, as the body begins to produce its own active ingredients that are effective against parasitic toxins. The drug is available in adult and children's dosages and has low toxicity.
- Available in a convenient form of chewable tablets, suspensions and standard tablets for oral administration. The active substance of the drug from the group of benzimidazoles is effective against several types of Giardia, copes well with infections with all kinds of worms and has a relatively low level of toxicity. According to many experts, this drug is the best remedy for parasites in the human body in the presented group. Suitable for both children and adults and does not require any special instructions and precautions when taken at the recommended dose.
Targeted Drugs
Modern diagnostic capabilities allow you to accurately determine the type of parasite and help the doctor prescribe the appropriate antiparasitic drugs. The most dangerous diseases are cestodose and trematodose. Affecting internal organs - heart, liver, lungs, lesions lead to irreversible consequences that undermine human health and, in especially difficult cases, threaten life.
Cestodes are often found in raw meat, so food workers and those who don't follow safety precautions when handling animal products are at high risk of infection. Regarding cestodes, active drugs are very toxic drugs, so treatment is usually carried out in a hospital, and in parallel, systemic therapy is prescribed, aimed at restoring the functions of organs and systems affected by parasites. Treatment is long, complicated and expensive, so it is much easier to take preventive measures.
Trematodes are related to the flukeworm class and infest the liver, lungs, and organs of the circulatory system. Despite unpleasant symptoms and a threatening diagnosis, trematodes respond well to treatment with a drug from the group of pyrazineisoquinolines. The drug is prescribed after laboratory diagnosis and focuses narrowly on this resistant parasite.
Folk recipes against parasites
Traditional healers and our ancestors have long noticed that some plants have increased activity against parasites. The components of medicinal herbs create negative conditions for the life of parasites in the human body. At the same time, the herbal remedy against parasites is significantly less toxic and has a gentle effect.
