Treating parasitic infections effectively depends on the type of parasite and its location in the body. Common parasitic infections include those caused by protozoa, helminths (worms), and ectoparasites. The most effective treatments are tailored to the specific parasite involved.
Medications like Albendazole, Fenbendazole Tablet, and Praziquantel are commonly prescribed for worm infestations such as roundworms, tapeworms, and hookworms. For protozoan infections like giardiasis, Metronidazole or Tinidazole is effective. Ivermectin is often used for treating strongyloidiasis and scabies. In some cases, a combination of drugs is needed to fully eradicate the parasite. This approach is often used for resistant infections or those affecting multiple systems.
Nutritional support and hydration are essential during treatment to help the body recover. Additionally, maintaining hygiene and sanitizing living spaces are critical in preventing reinfections.
