Parasites still pose a serious threat. That is why you need to know the ways of dealing with them, as well as the list of drugs that will become assistants in this process.
The human body is a whole world attacked by its environment and the microorganisms that inhabit it. Not all of them are useful or neutral in relation to a person. About 95% of people sooner or later encounter aggressive parasites (fungi, worms). These organisms can cause significant damage if they invade a person, so getting rid of them as soon as possible is extremely important. Helminths live and multiply using the internal resources of a person, 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 wielder. 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 medicines or by folk methods. However, traditional medicine strongly recommends using the latter only as a means of preventing the appearance of pests or in conjunction with drug therapy. Otherwise, you can feel the aggravation of the disease or its serious complications.
Medications are still a much more effective means of controlling parasites, but they are quite toxic, so they should only be taken as directed by a doctor.
Even treatment with antiparasitic drugs is not an easy task, and it is unlikely that it will be possible to save a person from such an unpleasant neighborhood very quickly. In fact, all wormers are characterized by a complex action, the mechanisms of which are not yet fully understood.
In addition, in recent years, the problem of resistance of parasites to them has become quite serious. And since residents of third world countries deal mainly with such problems, the percentage of medical innovations in this area, alas, is small. However, it is innovative drugs that can be considered the most effective.
It is important to note 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 infested the human body are divided into 3 subgroups:
- nematodes;
- trematodes;
- cestodes.
Depending on which group the pest belongs to, drug therapy is prescribed. That's partly why it's so difficult to get rid of them on your own without injuring yourself even more.
Preparing the body for therapy
An important part of the treatment is the preliminary examination. Conducting various studies is the basis for choosing an effective method of drug therapy. However, it will be important to coordinate the patient's diet in the right direction. Before you carry out the parasite cleanse, you should better switch to a healthy and balanced diet.
A vegetarian diet is considered ideal. However, in addition to animal products, it is better to avoid heavy, fatty foods, sugar and refined foods. For two weeks, it is recommended to follow a light and gentle unloading diet. Your body will thank you very much if your diet is enriched with fruit, raw vegetables and freshly squeezed juices.
Particular attention should also be paid to your own drinking regime. 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 practicing enemas in order to get a better further result of therapy. In these cases, herbal decoctions of tansy, wormwood and other herbs are usually used.
Choice of anthelmintic
Antihelmintics with a certain degree of conventionality can be divided into 3 types:
- synthesized chemicals;
- plant-based substances;
- homeopathic preparations.
Of course, each of the groups will have both their positive and negative sides. However, they all have one characteristic in common. All of them are aimed at creating conditions for parasites absolutely unsuitable for their life and reproduction. However, the course of therapy is usually long and can last up to 1-2 months or last for a whole year.
Chemicals guarantee high effectiveness and show the effect after 1-2 months. Despite this, such drugs are endowed with high toxicity, therefore they poison both parasites and the body. In addition, the action of such a drug, as a rule, is effective only for 1-2 types of helminths.
Herbal preparations are herbal extracts or their preparations. Such "medicines" accumulate plant toxins in the body, which are not tolerated by pests, and they have to leave the human body, because they cannot adapt to them. In addition, such components increase the body's natural protective functions and are harmless to it. Nevertheless, the duration of treatment with such means is quite long and can last up to a year.
Homeopathic remedies - such treatment is also long-term and includes a course from 3 months to a year. The effectiveness of such treatment is proportional to the qualification of the homeopath, his ability to choose the right remedies for the patient. Otherwise, the effect of treatment will be zero.
As already mentioned, preparations against helminths are prescribed by a doctor only after conducting appropriate tests. In addition, when prescribing a drug, it is necessary to take into account the personal characteristics of a person:
- its weight;
- Age;
- the presence of allergies;
- Intolerance to the components of the prescribed drug and other pathologies.
Furthermore, sensitive individual monitoring of the course of treatment is carried out.
preparations for nematodes
This subgroup of parasites includes pinworms, roundworms, whipworms, trichinella, and toxocara. However, the most common cases of infection are the first two categories of pests.
To counteract them, various drugs are effective, a specialist will choose the appropriate one.
Extraintestinal pests in the body suggest a slightly different treatment. Drugs based on ivermectin help to quickly get rid of them. However, it is very important to follow the instructions for the drug and conduct a second course of treatment. The fact is that these drugs work only on sexually mature individuals, but are not effective in fighting their larvae and eggs.
In addition, after drinking the drug (preferably in the evening), it is recommended to do a cleansing enema and take a laxative. Such measures will significantly reduce the level of toxins in the body.
Remedies for Cestodes
Although a significant number of parasites are attributed to cestodes, infection with bovine tapeworm and broadband worm is most commonly found. This is a rather difficult case, but it is still possible to get rid of such parasites, first carefully considering the therapy. Productive in the treatment of cestodes are special drugs that are prescribed by a specialist.
Preparations against trematodes and flukes
This huge group of parasites includes lung, Chinese, feline and liver flukes. This type of parasite is extremely dangerous in its effect on the human body, and delayed therapy can lead to serious consequences.
The range of drugs is quite wide, but you should not experiment. Consult a doctor if you suspect the presence of helminths or if you feel unreasonably worse.
