Man is exposed every day to the risk of being infected with parasitic life forms, since the sources of danger are common household objects, food, insects and pets. The smallest, invisible to the eye parasites and their eggs can enter the body and initiate their devastating effect on human health. Living in regions that are unfavorable in terms of ecology and health standards, as well as visiting countries with a humid and hot climate, aggravate the situation. Knowing the simpler basics of prevention can greatly reduce the risk for a person, but if there is even a minimal likelihood of infection, more effective measures need to be taken. Official and traditional medicine offers an impressive arsenal of therapeutic and prophylactic drugs, and it is advisable to always have the most popular and effective remedies for parasites in the human body in the home first aid kit.
Medicines for parasites
The main task of pest drugs from pharmaceutical production is to rid the human body of adults, regardless of 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 of dead parasites, 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, since the body, weakened by the action of parasitic life forms, can react to new aggressive components in the most unexpected way. The most effective antiparasitic agents in the human body are of low toxicity and show their activity only against foreign agents.
The choice of a suitable drug is best left to a competent specialist. After the examination and the results of laboratory diagnostics, he will be able to establish the exact type of parasite and prescribe the optimal drug in each specific case. Specialist advice is also necessary because all drugs have certain side effects and contraindications and, given the toxicity of anthelmintic drugs, 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 varieties and belong to drugs with a wide spectrum of effects. The advantages of this group of drugs are their effectiveness in case of infection with different types of parasites, but this effect, especially in some drugs, is accompanied by increased toxicity. Among the drugs with a wide spectrum of effects, there are dosages for children and adults, which must be considered when buying.
Visiting exotic countries, as well as working in the food industry with raw materials of animal origin, is fraught with the identification of parasites 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 a protection against the toxic effects of parasitic poisons. Targeted drugs are prescribed only when the type of parasite is identified, as they are very toxic and can provoke the development of poisoning.
A huge advantage of modern drugs that have a pronounced antiparasitic effect is the speed of influence on the human body. Most drugs in the correct dosage can eliminate parasites in 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 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 active against various types of intestinal parasites. This drug contains methyl ester of carbamic acid, 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 dosage. A small amount will only slow down the development processes, and an excessive excess of the norm 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 one generation of people. A single dose of the drug in the correct dose contributes to the rapid disposal of parasites. The active ingredient causes paralysis of the worm's muscular system and the immobilized parasite easily leaves the body naturally. This drug is often used as an anthelmintic drug in children and is also effective for the prevention of helminthiasis in animals. Another important advantage of the drug is its relatively low cost.
- The active ingredient of the drug is a derivative of imidazothiazole, which blocks the ability of parasites to breathe. Adult individuals begin to actively leave the body in search of oxygen, while younger individuals die from its lack. Another positive effect of the drug is to improve a person's natural immunity. The more the defense is active, the lower the chances of survival of the parasites, as the organism begins to produce its own active components effective against parasitic poisons. The drug is available in adult and pediatric dosages and has low toxicity.
- Available in a convenient form of chewable plaques, suspensions and standard tablets for oral administration. The active substance of the drug from the benzimidazole group effectively acts against different types of Giardia, copes well with infection with worms of all types, and has relatively low toxicity. According to many experts, this drug is the best remedy for parasites in the human body in the presented group. Suitable for children and adults and requires no 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 agents. The most dangerous diseases are cestodosis and trematodosis. Injuries affect internal organs - the heart, liver, lungs - and lead to irreversible consequences, undermining human health and threatening life in particularly difficult cases.
Tapeworms 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 tapeworms, active drugs are very toxic drugs, so treatment is usually carried out in the hospital and in parallel, systemic therapy is prescribed, aimed at restoring the functions of organs and systems affected by parasites. Treatment is time-consuming, complicated and expensive, so preventative measures are much easier to follow.
Flukes are related to the fluke worm class and affect the liver, lungs and organs of the circulatory system. Despite the unpleasant symptoms and a threatening diagnosis, flukes respond well to treatment with a drug from the pyrazineisoquinoline group. The drug is prescribed after laboratory diagnosis and focuses on this resistant parasite.
Folk recipes against parasites
Traditional healers and our ancestors have long noticed that some plants have greater activity against pests. The components of medicinal herbs create negative conditions for the life of parasitic individuals in the human body. At the same time, the herbal remedy for parasites has a much less toxic effect and has a mild effect. For this reason, medicinal herbs with anti-parasitic properties can be used for both children and adults.

- Spicy and spicy ones raise the core temperature, and worms of all kinds are very sensitive to fluctuations. At the same time, the essential oils contained in spices have an impact on the life cycle of parasites.
- Bitter herbs lower the level of humidity, which is optimal for most parasitic forms. Under such conditions, the processes of reproduction slow down and the young die due to adverse circumstances.
- The taste of sour herbs, vegetables and fruit changes the normal acidity ratio in the body and kills the worms by destroying their bodies and egg shells.
