People are at risk of becoming infected with parasitic life forms every day, as the sources of danger are ordinary household items, food, insects and pets. The smallest, invisible to the eye parasites and their eggs can enter the body and begin their destructive impact on human health. Living in regions that are unfavorable in terms of ecology and sanitation standards, as well as visiting countries with humid and warm climates, exacerbates the situation. Knowing the simplest basics of prevention can significantly reduce a person's risk, but if there is even a minimal chance of infection, more effective measures must be taken. Formal and traditional medicine offer an impressive arsenal of therapeutic and prophylactic drugs and it is advisable to have in your home medicine cabinet constantly the most popular and effective means of combating parasites in the human body.
Drugs against parasites
The main task of pharmaceutical parasite drugs is to free the human body from adults, regardless of location, by 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 decomposition 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 unexpected way. The most effective antiparasitic drugs in the human body are low toxicity and show their activity only against foreign agents.
The choice of the appropriate drug is best left to a competent specialist. After the examination and the results of the laboratory diagnostics, he will be able to determine the exact type of the parasite and prescribe the optimal medicine for each specific case. Consultation with a specialist is also necessary, as 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 of the drugs are effective against several varieties and belong to drugs with a wide range of effects. The advantage of this group of drugs is their effectiveness in infecting several types of parasites, but this effect, especially with some drugs, is accompanied by increased toxicity. Among the drugs with a wide range of effects there are doses for children and adults that should be considered when buying.
Visiting exotic countries, as well as working in the food industry with raw animal raw materials, are met with the identification of parasites that are not typical of the region of residence. Therapy in this case will require the use of highly targeted antiparasitic drugs. This measure is a prerequisite for quality treatment and serves as protection against the toxic effects of parasitic poisons. Targeted drugs are prescribed only when identifying the type of parasite, 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 action on the human body. Most drugs in the right dosage can get rid of pests with a single application, which significantly reduces the risk of side effects and speeds up the rehabilitation process after the action of parasitic poisons.
Drugs with a broad spectrum of action
Among the wide range of drugs, the most popular and effective are:
- The first drug on the list and the most toxic to humans seems to be one of the most effective drugs active against various types of intestinal parasites. This drug contains carbamic acid methyl ester, which interrupts the processes of reproduction and growth of adults, disrupts the metabolic processes of worms and contributes to their rapid death. It is important to follow the recommended dosage when prescribing the medicine. A small amount will only slow down the development process, and an excessive excess of the active substance will cause severe intoxication in humans.
- The most famous drug from the group of tetrahydropyrimidines, whose effectiveness 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 often 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 ingredient of the drug is a derivative of imidazothiazole, which blocks the ability of parasites to breathe. Older individuals begin to actively leave the body in search of oxygen, while younger ones die from lack of it. Another positive effect of the drug is to strengthen a person's natural immunity. The more active the defense, the less likely the parasites are to survive as the body begins to produce its own active ingredients that are effective against parasitic poisons. The drug is available in doses for adults and children and has low toxicity.
- It is available in convenient form on chewable plates, suspensions and standard tablets for oral administration. The active substance in the benzimidazole group is effective against several species of Giardia, copes well with worm infections of all kinds and has relatively low toxicity. According to many experts, this drug is the best remedy against parasites in the human body in this group. Suitable for children and adults and does not require special instructions and precautions when taken in the recommended dose.
Targeted drugs
Modern diagnostic capabilities allow you to determine the exact type of parasite and help the doctor prescribe the appropriate antiparasitic drugs. The most dangerous diseases are cestodes and trematodes. The lesions affect the internal organs - the heart, liver, lungs - and lead to irreversible consequences, undermining human health and endangering life in particularly difficult cases.
Cestodes are often found in raw meat, so food workers and those who do not follow precautions when handling animal products are at high risk of infection. With regard to cestodes, active drugs are very toxic drugs, so treatment is usually carried out in a hospital and in parallel prescribe systemic therapy 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 preventive measures.
Trematodes are related to the fluke class and affect the liver, lungs and circulatory system. Despite the unpleasant symptoms and the threatening diagnosis, trematodes respond well to treatment with a drug from the group of pyrazinisoquinolines. The drug is prescribed after laboratory diagnosis and has a narrow focus on this resistant parasite.
Folk recipes against parasites
Folk 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 parasitic individuals in the human body. At the same time, the herbal remedy against parasites has a much less toxic effect and acts gently. Therefore, medicinal herbs with antiparasitic properties can be used for both children and adults.
The effect of exposure is based on the different properties of herbs:
- Spicy and spicy increase the internal temperature, and worms of all kinds are very sensitive to fluctuations. At the same time, the essential oils contained in spices affect the life cycle of parasites.
- Bitter herbs reduce the level of moisture, which is optimal for most parasitic forms. Under such conditions, reproductive processes slow down and young individuals die due to adverse circumstances.
- The taste of sour herbs, vegetables and fruits alter the body's normal acidity ratio and kill worms by destroying their bodies and eggshells.
As well as among medicines, in the group of medicinal plants there are those that have a wide range of action. A distinctive feature of their influence is the influence on several factors in the life of parasites simultaneously. These herbs are usually less toxic, but must be taken for a long time to get results.
Herbal medicines can be used as a stand-alone therapy or as an adjunct to an ongoing course of antiparasitic treatment. Many herbs are poisonous, so when choosing, you should carefully study their properties and correctly determine the required mode of application. In this case, directories of medicinal plants can help, but to reduce the risk of poisoning, it is still better to seek the advice of a good doctor.
Treatment with herbal medicines for parasites in the human body can be carried out in the form of monotherapy - the use of one plant as the main treatment or the use of fees.
