What Treatments Are Available for Worm Infections?

[Drelizabeth Blackburn]

内容

Worm infections (helminthiasis) are commonly treated with antiparasitic medications that target specific parasites. Doctors often prescribe albendazole or mebendazole for roundworms, hookworms, and pinworms. Praziquantel is widely used for tapeworms and flukes, while ivermectin is effective against strongyloidiasis and filariasis. In some protozoal and mixed intestinal infections, nitazoxanide may be recommended, and it is sometimes discussed in pharmaceutical supply contexts such as nizonide wholesale. Supportive care, including improved hygiene, sanitation, and nutrition, is essential to prevent reinfection. Severe cases may require hospitalization and follow-up testing.
