People are exposed daily to the risk of being infected by parasitic lifestyles, as the sources of danger are common household items, food, insects and pets. Smaller, invisible to the naked eye parasites and their eggs can enter the body and begin their devastating effect on human health. Living in areas that are not favorable in terms of ecology and health standards, as well as visiting countries with humid and hot climates, aggravates the situation. Knowledge of the simplest principles of prevention can significantly reduce a person's risk, but if there is even the slightest 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 good to always have in the first aid kit at home the most popular and effective treatments for parasites in the human body.
Medicines for parasites
The main task of drugs for drug-producing parasites is to rid the human body of adults, regardless of location, impeding vital functions, interrupting the reproductive cycle and destroying young worms and their larvae.
The second necessary result of a good medicine should be the timely removal of dead parasites, their metabolic products and their 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 agents in the human body are of low toxicity and show their action 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 diagnosis, he will be able to determine the exact type of parasite and prescribe the optimal drug in each case. Expert 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 parasitic worm forms, most of the drugs are effective against many varieties and belong to drugs with a wide range of effects. The advantages of this group of drugs are their effectiveness when infected with various types of parasites, but this effect, especially in some drugs, is accompanied by increased toxicity. Among the drugs with a wide range of effects, there are doses for children and adults, which must be taken into account when buying.
Visiting exotic countries, as well as working in the food industry with raw materials of animal origin, is fraught with detecting pests that are informal for the residential area. Treatment in this case will require the use of highly targeted antiparasitic agents. This measure is a prerequisite for quality treatment and serves as protection from the toxic effects of parasitic poisons. Targeted drugs are prescribed only when the type of parasite is identified, as they are highly toxic and can cause the development of poisoning.
A huge advantage of modern drugs that have a strong antiparasitic effect is the speed of influence on the human body. Most drugs in the right dosage can get rid of parasites in one application, which significantly reduces the risk of side effects and speeds up the recovery 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 seems to be one of the most effective drugs acting against various types of intestinal parasites. This drug contains carbamic acid methyl ester, which interrupts the reproductive and developmental processes 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 growth processes and an excessive violation of the rule of the active substance will cause serious poisoning 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 right dose contributes to the rapid rejection of parasites. The active ingredient paralyzes the worm's muscular system and the immobilized parasite leaves the body easily in a natural way. 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 an imidazothiazole derivative, which inhibits the ability of parasites to breathe. Adults 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 the strengthening of 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 adult and pediatric doses and has low toxicity.
- Available in convenient form of chewable tablets, suspensions and standard tablets for oral administration. The active substance of the drug from the group of benzimidazoles acts effectively against various types of Giardia, treats well with worm infection of all types and has a relatively low toxicity. According to many experts, this drug is the best drug for parasites in the human body in the presented group. Suitable for children and adults and does not require 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 your doctor prescribe the appropriate antiparasitic agents. The most dangerous diseases are cestodosis and tremor. Damage affects the internal organs - heart, liver, lungs - and leads to irreversible consequences, undermining human health and threatening life in particularly difficult cases.
Cestodes 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 cestodes, active drugs are very toxic drugs, so treatment is usually performed in a hospital and systemic treatment is prescribed at the same time, with the aim of restoring the functions of organs and systems affected by parasites. Treatment is long, complicated and expensive, so it is much easier to take preventive measures.
Tremors are related to the category of worms and affect the liver, lungs and organs of the circulatory system. Despite the unpleasant symptoms and the threatening diagnosis, the tremors respond well to the treatment with a drug from the group of pyrazinoisoquinolines. The drug is prescribed after a laboratory diagnosis and has a narrow focus on this resistant parasite.
Folk recipes against pests
Traditional healers and our ancestors have long noticed that some plants have increased activity against pests. The ingredients of medicinal herbs create negative conditions for the life of parasitic individuals in the human body. At the same time, the herbal medicine for parasites has a much less toxic effect and has a mild effect. Because of this, medicinal herbs with antiparasitic properties can be used for both children and adults.
The result of the exposure is based on the various properties of herbs:
- Spicy and hot increase the internal temperature and worms of all kinds are very sensitive to fluctuations. At the same time, the essential oils contained in the spices have an impact on the life cycle of the 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 conditions.
- The taste of acidic herbs, vegetables and fruits changes the normal acidity ratio in the body and kills worms by destroying the body and the shell of their eggs.
As with all medicines, there are some that have a wide range of effects. A feature of their influence is the effect on many factors in the life of the parasite at the same time. These herbs are usually less toxic, but must be taken for a long time to get results.
Herbal remedies can be used as an autonomous treatment or as a supplement to a continuous course of antiparasitic therapy. Many herbs are poisonous, so when choosing, you should carefully study their properties and correctly determine the required method of administration. In this case, reference books for herbs can help, but to reduce the risk of poisoning, it is even better to seek the advice of a good doctor.
Herbal remedies for parasites in the human body can be given in the form of monotherapy - the use of a plant as the main treatment or the use of rewards.
Herbal medicines have a number of advantages. They act in many directions simultaneously, affecting the vital functions of the parasites, their ability to move and reproduce, and also to kill the less resistant individuals and larvae.
