Broad-spectrum antiparasitic drugs
Anthelminthic drugs are used to treat various types of helminthiasis - damage to the body caused by parasites.These agents can be universal (broad-spectrum) or act selectively on any type of helminth.Until recently, the pharmaceutical industry could not offer patients anything to expel parasites other than preparations based on herbal remedies: male fern extract, chenopodia oil (based on the anthelmintic plant), garlic and pumpkin seed extracts.
Modern tablets against parasites with a broad spectrum of action, created on the basis of the synthesis of chemical compounds, are much more effective, safe and have high anthelmintic activity.Only an infectious disease specialist or parasitologist can determine which medicine should be taken in a particular case.More than 70 species of helminths that threaten human health have been recorded in Russian regions.
The most common are pinworms, roundworms and lamblia (parasites of the protozoa family that live in the duodenum).These invasions are diagnosed in both children and adults.About 10 modern anthelmintic drugs are used to treat the most common parasitic infections.
Absolute contraindications to the use of antiparasitic drugs are pregnancy (exception: Piperazine), breastfeeding, viral and intestinal infections, somatic pathologies.
Main groups of parasites:
The parasites of these groups have different properties and different sensitivity to the active ingredients of drugs.For the optimal choice of drugs against parasites it is necessary to take into account the type of helminths, the age of the patient, concomitant diseases and contraindications.The dosage and frequency of administration, the number of necessary treatment cycles are determined exclusively by the treating doctor.
Tablets for roundworms and roundworms
The most common parasites in the human body are roundworms and pinworms.Less common are roundworms such as whipworms, Toxocara and Trichinella.
The following drugs are used to expel parasitic roundworms in the intestine:
- Albendazole;
- levamisole;
- mebendazole;
- Piperazine;
- pyrantel pamoate;
Diethylcarbamazine and Ivermectin are used to expel parasitic nematodes outside the gastrointestinal tract.
How to take antiparasitic drugs correctly?The eggs and larvae of most helminths are well protected from the toxic effects of drugs.Adults die as a result of their action, so the subsequent cycle of development of larvae and eggs can lead to autoinfection of the patient.This characteristic of parasitic infestations makes it necessary to repeat the treatment cycle several times.An enema with herbal decoctions or taking a laxative to completely remove helminths can complement the effects of drugs.
Self-medication with antiparasitic drugs is completely unacceptable!Drug toxicity requires accurate calculation of the dose, based on the patient's body weight, and the conduct of maintenance therapy.Expulsion of tape and flat parasites should only be carried out in a hospital setting.During self-medication, it is impossible to check whether the drugs are effective or whether it is necessary to repeat the course.
Tablets for parasites: tapeworms and tapeworms

Should I take deworming pills for prevention?
If parasites are found in a family member, other people living with the patient in the same area must also undergo antiparasitic treatment.Since preschool children are very often infected with helminths, and these parasites are transmitted very easily and quickly, parents have a completely logical question whether a preventive antiparasitic course should be implemented at a certain time interval.Another argument that parents give in favor of prophylaxis with antiparasitic drugs is the frequency of false negative results when performing scrapings to detect helminthiasis.
Experts have not yet reached a consensus on this issue.Some scientists believe that prevention is impractical.They indicate that a person takes the drug today and becomes infected again tomorrow.
Doctors clearly indicate that it is necessary to take measures to prevent parasite infestation:
- Strict personal hygiene;
- Wash your hands after a walk, before eating, after using the bathroom and in other public places;
- Daily underwear change (preferably in the morning).
If you follow the above recommendations, according to experts, prophylactic pills against parasites are not necessary.In addition, they all have a toxic effect on the body, which means that they will negatively affect the health of the child.However, doctors are not opposed to preventing parasites, for example, by eating pumpkin seeds or using other popular recipes based on garlic.
There is also an opposite point of view.Numerous experts insist that every six months the child should receive a preventive course of anthelmintic drugs (Pyrantel).They explain this need by the fact that the prevalence of pinworms in all preschool institutions is large and the reliability of diagnostic methods is low.Furthermore, children can more or less fully observe the rules of personal hygiene only up to the age of 4-6 years.
If the analysis does not reveal the presence of parasites in the intestines of the child, but he is haunted by night itching in the anus, periodic abdominal pain and nausea occur, then the curettage should be repeated exactly in the morning, when the night itching was especially intense.The analysis must be performed at least 3 times, every other day and after 14 days.Only in this case can we hope to obtain a reliable result.
Preventive use of drugs against parasites is possible for the following indications:
- Frequent contact with the ground (playing in a sandbox or living in a rural area);
- Pets available;
- Placing a child in shelters and orphanages;
- Frequent travel to exotic shores;
- Hobbies include hunting, fishing, beach volleyball or soccer, etc.
Antiparasitic drugs during pregnancy
Parasites most often affect the body of a person with a weakened immune system.The period of waiting for a child is a huge burden for a woman, and helminthias often affect their body.Drugs against parasites have a teratogenic effect, so they should not be used in the 1st trimester of pregnancy.The harm resulting from the activity of helminths turns out to be less pronounced than the side effects of this group of drugs.
The only approved drug is piperazine, which is used only by prescription.
Treatment of ascariasis: 1.5-2 g 2 times a day for two consecutive days.
Treatment of enterobiasis: 1.5-2 g for 5 days, after a 7-day break the course is repeated.
You can avoid the toxic effects of drugs in the treatment of enterobiasis if you carefully observe personal hygiene and treat underwear with steam or boiling water.
Rules of personal hygiene - prevention of self-infection:
- Hand disinfection after using the bathroom and changing underwear;
- Wash your hands thoroughly before eating and after contact with animals;
- Processing and washing of fruit and vegetables, aromatic herbs.
