Parasites continue to pose a serious threat. That is why you need to know about possible ways to treat them, as well as the list of drugs that will become assistants in this process.
The human body is a whole world that is attacked by its environment and the microorganisms that inhabit it. Not everyone is helpful or neutral in relation to a person. About 95% of people sooner or later come across aggressive parasites (fungi, worms). These organisms can cause significant damage when they enter a person, so it is extremely important to get rid of them as soon as possible. Helminths live and reproduce 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 carrier. It is not surprising that the question of how to get rid of parasites in the body does not lose relevance.
Specificity of drug therapy
It is possible to get rid of parasites with drugs or by folk methods. However, traditional medicine strongly recommends the use of the latter only as a means of preventing the appearance of pests or in combination with drug therapy. Otherwise, you may feel the aggravation of the disease or its serious complications.
Medications are still a much more productive means of combating parasites, but they are quite toxic, so they can only be taken as directed by a doctor.
Even drug treatment for parasites 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 anthelmintic pills are characterized by a complex action, the mechanisms of which are not fully understood.
Also, in recent years, the problem of parasite resistance to them has become quite serious. And since residents of third world countries are mainly concerned with such problems, the percentage of medicinal innovations in this area, alas, is small. However, it is the innovative drugs that can be considered the most effective.
It is important to consider that antiparasitic drugs should not be used for viral and somatic diseases, as well as for intestinal infections. Such treatment is also prohibited during pregnancy and lactation. The pests that have occupied the human body are divided into 3 subgroups:
- nematodes;
- flukes;
- cestodes.
Depending on the group to which the plague belongs, drug therapy is prescribed. This is partly why it's so hard to get rid of them on your own without hurting yourself further.
Preparing the body for therapy.
An important period in treatment is the course of the examination that precedes it. The approval of various studies is the basis for choosing an effective method of drug therapy. However, it will be important to coordinate the patient's nutrition in the right direction. Before performing the parasite cleansing 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 moderate 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 soft drinks, thus pre-cleaning the intestines, kidneys and liver. If a person infected with helminths, in addition, suffers from constipation, then it is better to start practicing enemas, for a better subsequent result of therapy. In these cases, herbal decoctions of tansy, wormwood and other herbs are often used.
Choice of anthelmintic agent
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 both its positive and negative aspects. However, they all have a common feature. They are all intended to create conditions for parasites that are absolutely unsuitable for their life and reproduction. However, the course of therapy is usually long and can last up to 1 or 2 months or last for a whole year.
Chemicals guarantee a high rate of effectiveness and show the effect after 1-2 months. However, such drugs are endowed with a high level of toxicity, therefore they poison both parasites and the body. Also, as a rule, the action of such a drug is effective only for 1-2 types of helminths.
Herbal preparations are herbal extracts or preparations thereof. Such "drugs" accumulate plant poisons in the body, which are not tolerated by pests, and they are forced to leave the human body, because they cannot adapt to them. In addition, such components increase the natural protective functions of the body and are safe for him. However, the period of treatment with such means is quite long and can last 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, the ability of him to choose the appropriate remedies for the patient. Otherwise, the effect of the treatment will be null.
Preparations for helminths, as already mentioned, are prescribed by a doctor only after the corresponding tests have been carried out. Also, when prescribing a remedy, the personal characteristics of a person should be taken into account:
- His weight;
- years;
- the presence of allergies;
- intolerance to the components of the prescribed drug and other pathologies.
In addition, sensitive individual observation 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 select the appropriate one.
Extraintestinal pests in the body suggest a slightly different treatment. Ivermectin-based drugs will help to quickly get rid of them. But it is very important to follow the instructions of the medicine and carry out a second course of treatment. The fact is that these drugs act only on sexually mature individuals, but are ineffective in combating their larvae and eggs.
Also, after drinking the drug (preferably at night), it is recommended to do a cleansing enema and drink a laxative. Such measures will significantly reduce the level of toxins in the body.
Remedies for tapeworms
Although a considerable number of parasites are attributed to cestodes, however, infection with bovine tapeworm and broad tapeworm is found more frequently. This is quite a difficult case, but it is still possible to get rid of such parasites by carefully considering therapy first. Productive in the treatment of cestodes are special drugs prescribed by a specialist.
Prepared 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 late therapy can cause 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.
