Antiparasitic

Antiparasitic treatments are designed to target and remove parasites responsible for infections. These medicines target the parasites directly, making it easier for the body to expel them and return to health. One can get the parasites from eating or drinking food and water contaminated with these parasites, traveling to certain areas of the world where such infections are common, or worse, having bad hygiene. Infections left untreated can lead to intestinal problems, skin problems, malnutrition, and in more severe cases, further health issues.

Why Choose Antiparasitic Medicines?

• Targeted parasite treatment: effective against gastrointestinal worms, protozoa, and certain external parasites.
• Facilitates recovery: focus on root causes, not on symptoms
• Different forms — in tablets, liquids, powders, granules, slow-release forms, and injectables

How to Use Antiparasitic Medicines

• Use as directed by a doctor.
• Take the Full Course: Stopping the pill midway, even if symptoms have become less severe, can cause loss of effectiveness and re-infection.
• Dosage Form: Tablet (give it with a full glass of water). Other forms have to keep up as directed.

As always, talk to your doctor first, especially if you are or have been taking other medications or if you have any underlying health conditions.
