Broad spectrum anti-parasitic drugs
Anthelmintic drugs are used to treat various types of helminthiasis - damage to the body by parasites.These agents can be either universal (broad spectrum) or selectively act on any type of helminth.Until recently, the pharmaceutical industry could not offer patients anything to expel parasites other than preparations based on herbal medicines - male fern extract, chenopodia oil (based on the anthelminthic pigweed plant), extracts from garlic and pumpkin seeds.
Modern tablets against parasites with a wide spectrum of action, made based on the synthesis of chemical compounds, are much more effective, safe, and have high anthelmintic activity.Only an infectious disease specialist or a 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 the territory of Russia.
The most common are pinworms, roundworms, and lamblia (parasites from the protozoan family that live in the duodenum).This aggression is 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 pathology.
Main groups of parasites:
Parasites from this group have different properties and different sensitivities to the active ingredients of the drug.For the optimal selection of drugs against parasites, it is necessary to take into account the type of helminths, the patient's age, concomitant diseases, and contraindications.The dosage and frequency of administration, the number of necessary treatment courses are determined only by the attending physician.
Tablets for nematodes and roundworms
The most common parasites in the human body are worms and pinworms.Less common are nematodes such as worms, toxocara and trichinella.
To expel parasitic nematodes in the intestine, the following drugs are used:
- Albendazole;
- Levamisole;
- Mebendazole;
- Piperazine;
- Pyrantel Pamoate;
To expel parasitic nematodes outside the gastrointestinal tract, diethylcarbamazine and ivermectin are used.
How to take antiparasitic medicine correctly?Eggs and larvae of most helminths are well protected from the toxic effects of drugs.Adults die as a result of their actions, so the subsequent cycle of larval and egg development can lead to self-infection of the patient.The characteristics of this parasite attack make it necessary to repeat the treatment several times.Enemas with herbal decoctions or taking laxatives to completely eliminate helminths can add to the effect of medications.
Self-medication with antiparasitic drugs is completely unacceptable!Drug toxicity requires accurate dose calculation, based on the patient's body weight, and conducting maintenance therapy.Expulsion of tape and flat parasites should be done only in a hospital setting.When self-medication, it is impossible to check whether the drugs are effective or whether repeated courses are needed.
Tablets for Parasites: Cestodes and tapeworms
Cestodes cause a large number of helminthiasis - echinococcosis, sparganosis, cysticercosis and taeniasis (caused by swine tapeworms), teniarynchosis, dipylidiasis, taeniasis (caused by bovine tapeworms, hymenolepisis, hymenalosis) Diphyllobothriasis (caused by broad tapeworms).
Preparations to expel Cestodes:
- Niclosamide - used against intestinal parasitic tapeworms;
- Mepacrine - Used against all types of tapeworms, Giardia, for the treatment of malaria, cutaneous leishmaniasis;
- Albendazole - Used against all types of nematodes, mixed parasitic infections, cestodes living outside the gastrointestinal tract.
Tablets for helminths, trematodes, flatworms
Trematodes cause a large number of helminthiasis - clonorchiasis (Chinese fluke), opisthorchiasis (cat fluke), watsoniosis (liver fluke), cercariasis, metagonimiasis, schistosomiasis, fascioliasis (liver fluke) Dicrocoeliosis (lanceolate fluke), heterophyosis, fasciolopsidosis.
Anti-trematod drugs:
- Perchlorethylene - used against intestinal flukes;
- Hexachlor-para-xylene-used against trematodes that are parasitic outside the gastrointestinal tract;
- Praziquantel - has a wide range of applications and is used against many types of parasites.
Should I take anti-parasitic pills for prevention?
If parasites are found in one family member, then other people living with the patient in the same area should also undergo treatment for parasites.Since preschool children are very often infected with helminths, and these parasites are transmitted easily and quickly, parents have a completely logical question whether preventive antiparasitic courses should be carried out at certain intervals.Another argument given by parents in favor of prophylaxis with antiparasitic drugs is the frequency of false negative results when performing bandaging to detect helminthiasis.
Experts have not reached an agreement on this issue.Some scientists believe that prevention is not practical.They show that a person takes medicine today and gets infected again tomorrow.
Doctors clearly indicate that measures must be taken to prevent parasite infestation:
- Strict personal hygiene;
- Wash your hands after walking, before eating, after visiting the toilet and other public places;
- Daily change of pants (preferably in the morning).
If you follow the above recommendations, then, according to experts, prophylactic pills against parasites are not needed.In addition, they all have a toxic effect on the body, which means they will affect the health of children.However, doctors are not against parasite prevention such as eating pumpkin seeds or using other folk recipes using garlic.
There are also opposing views.Some experts insist that every six months children 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 wide, and the reliability of diagnostic methods is low.In addition, children can only see the rules of personal hygiene more or less completely until they are 4-6 years old.
If the analysis does not reveal the presence of parasites in the child's intestines, but he is haunted by nighttime itching in the anus, periodic abdominal pain and nausea occurs, then the binding should be repeated precisely in the morning when the nighttime itching is very intense.Analysis must be done at least 3 times, every day and after 14 days.Only in this case, one can get reliable results.
The preventive use of drugs against parasites is possible for the following indications:
- Frequent contact with the ground (playing in the sandbox, or living in the countryside);
- Availability of pets;
- Accommodation of children in shelters and orphanages;
- Frequent trips to exotic beaches;
- Hobbies include hunting, fishing, beach volleyball or soccer, etc.
Anti-parasitic medication during pregnancy
Parasites most often affect the body of a person with a weak immune system.The period of waiting for a child is a great burden for a woman, and Helminthiases often target their bodies.Drugs against parasites have a teratogenic effect, so they should not be used in the first trimester of pregnancy.The harm from the activity of helminths is apparently less significant than the side effects of this group of drugs.
The only approved drug is piperazine, which is only used as prescribed by a doctor.
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 the pants with steam or boiling water.
Rules of Personal Hygiene - Prevention of Self Expectations:
- Disinfection after using the toilet and changing pants;
- Thorough hand washing before eating and after contact with animals;
- Processing and washing vegetables and fruits, herbs.
