Parasites still pose a serious threat. That is why you need to know the possible ways to treat them, as well as the list of drugs that will become assistants in this process.
The human body is a world in its own right that is attacked by its environment and the micro-organisms that inhabit it. Not all are helpful or neutral to a person. About 95% of people sooner or later encounter aggressive parasites (fungi, worms). These organisms can cause significant damage when they get inside a person, so getting rid of them as soon as possible is extremely important. Helminths live and reproduce using a person's internal resources, and sometimes only a few signs can indicate their presence in the body. But the worst thing is that they can cause the death of their wearer. It is not surprising that the question of how to get rid of parasites in the body does not lose its relevance.
Specificity of drug therapy
It is possible to get rid of parasites with drugs or by folk methods. Nevertheless, traditional medicine strongly recommends using the latter only as a means of preventing the appearance of parasites or in combination with drug therapy. Otherwise, you can feel the aggravation of the disease or its serious complications.
Medications are still a much more productive way to control parasites, but they are quite toxic, so they can only be taken as directed by a doctor.
Even treatment with drugs against parasites is not an easy task, and it is unlikely that it will be possible to very quickly save a person from such an unpleasant neighborhood. In fact, all anthelmintic pills are characterized by a complex action, the mechanisms of which are not fully understood.
In addition, in recent years the problem of pest resistance to them has become quite serious. And since residents of third world countries are mainly affected by these problems, the percentage of medicinal innovations in this area is, alas, small. However, it is the innovative drugs that can be considered the most effective.
It is important to consider that you should not use antiparasitic drugs for viral and somatic diseases, as well as for intestinal infections. Such treatment is also prohibited during pregnancy and lactation. Pests that have occupied the human body are divided into 3 subgroups:
- nematodes;
- trematodes;
- cestodes.
Depending on the group to which the pest belongs, drug treatment is prescribed. That's part of why it's so hard to get rid of it on your own without hurting yourself even more.
Preparing the body for therapy
An important period of treatment is the course of the examination that precedes it. The passage of various studies is the basis for choosing an effective method of drug treatment. However, it will be important to coordinate the patient's nutrition in the right direction. Before carrying out the deworming procedure, it is better to switch to a healthy and balanced diet.
A vegetarian diet is considered ideal. However, in addition to animal products, it is better to forget about heavy, fatty foods, sugar and refined foods. For two weeks it is recommended to follow a light and sparing unloading diet. The body will thank you very much if the diet is enriched with fruits, raw vegetables and freshly squeezed juices.
Also, special attention should be paid to your own drinking regimen. It is important to consume only purified water. The average amount of water you drink should be at least 2 liters per day.
It is recommended to forget about soda, thereby pre-cleansing the intestines, kidneys and liver. If a person infected with helminths additionally suffers from constipation, it is better to start performing enemas, for a better subsequent result of treatment. In these cases, herbal decoctions of tansy, wormwood and other herbs are usually used.
Choice of anthelmintic
Anthelmintic drugs with a certain degree of conventionality can be divided into 3 types:
- synthesized chemicals;
- herbal substances;
- homeopathic preparations.
Naturally, each of the groups will have its positive and negative sides. However, they all have one common feature. They are all aimed at creating absolutely unsuitable conditions for pests for their life and reproduction. However, the course of treatment is usually long and can last up to 1-2 months, or stretch for an entire year.
The chemicals guarantee a high efficiency rate and show the effect after 1-2 months. Nevertheless, these drugs are endowed with a high level of toxicity, therefore they poison both the parasites and the body. Moreover, as a rule, the action of such a drug is effective only for 1-2 types of helminths.
Herbal preparations are plant extracts or their preparations. These "medicines" accumulate plant poisons in the body, which are not tolerated by parasites, and they are forced to leave the human body, since they cannot adapt to them. In addition, these components increase the natural protective functions of the body and are safe for him. Nevertheless, the period of treatment with such means is quite long and can take up to a year.
Homeopathic remedies - such treatment is also long-term and involves a course of 3 months to a year. The effectiveness of such treatment is proportional to the qualifications of the homeopath, to his ability to choose the right remedies for the patient. Otherwise, the treatment effect will be zero.
Preparations for helminths, as already mentioned, are prescribed by a doctor only after conducting the appropriate tests. Also, when prescribing a remedy, the personal characteristics of a person should be taken into account:
- his weight;
- age;
- the presence of allergies;
- intolerance to the components of the prescribed drug and other pathologies.
In addition, sensitive individual monitoring of the course of treatment is carried out.
Preparations for nematodes
This subgroup of parasites includes pinworms, roundworms, whipworms, trichinella and toxocaras. However, the most common cases of infection are the first two categories of pests.
To counter them, various drugs are effective, a specialist will select the appropriate one.
Extra-intestinal parasites in the body suggest a slightly different treatment. Ivermectin drugs will help get rid of it quickly. But it is very important to follow the instructions of the drug and conduct a second course. The fact is that these drugs act only on sexually mature individuals, but are not effective in combating their larvae and eggs.
Also, after drinking the drug (preferably in the evening), it is recommended to make a cleansing enema and take a laxative. Such measures will significantly reduce the level of toxins in the body.
Remedies for cestodes
Although a considerable number of parasites are attributed to tapeworms, however, infection with bovine tapeworm and broad tapeworm is most often found. This is quite a difficult case, but it is still possible to get rid of these parasites by carefully considering the therapy first. Productive in the treatment of cestodes are special drugs prescribed by a specialist.
Preparations against trematodes and flukes
This huge group of parasites includes the lung, Chinese, feline, and liver flukes. This type of parasite is extremely dangerous in its effects on the human body, and delayed treatment can lead to serious consequences.
The range of drugs is quite wide, but you should not experiment. See a doctor if you suspect helminths or feel unreasonably worse.
