Parasites continue to pose a serious threat. Therefore, you should be familiar with the possible treatments and the list of medications that will become assistants in this process.
The human body is a whole world that is attacked by its environment and the microorganisms that live in it. Not all of them are useful or neutral to one person. About 95% of people sooner or later encounter aggressive parasites (fungi, worms). These organisms can cause significant damage if they get inside a person, so it is extremely important that we get rid of them as soon as possible. Helmamples live and reproduce using human internal resources, and sometimes only a few signs can indicate their presence in the body. But the worst part is that they can cause the death of their carrier. Not surprisingly, the question of how to get rid of parasites in the body does not lose its relevance.
Peculiarities of drug therapy
It is possible to get rid of parasites with medication or folk methods. Nevertheless, traditional medicine strongly recommends that the latter be used only to prevent the appearance of pests or in combination with drug therapy. Otherwise, you may experience worsening of your disease or serious complications.
Medications are still a much more effective tool in the fight against parasites, but they are quite toxic and can only be taken as directed by your doctor.
Even treating with anti-parasitic drugs is not an easy task and it is unlikely that a person can be saved very quickly from such an unpleasant neighborhood. In fact, each anthelmintic is characterized by a complex effect, the mechanisms of which are not fully understood.
In addition, the problem of parasite resistance to them has become quite serious in recent years. And as the population of third world countries is mainly preoccupied with such problems, unfortunately, the rate of medical innovation in this area is small. However, innovative medicines are considered to be the most effective.
It is important to avoid the use of antiparasitic agents for viral and somatic diseases and intestinal infections. Such treatment is also prohibited during childbearing and breastfeeding. Pests that occupy the human body can be divided into three subgroups:
- nematodes;
- trematodes;
- cestodes.
Depending on the group to which the pest belongs, drug therapy is prescribed. In part, that’s why it’s so hard to get rid of them alone without getting hurt even more.
Preparing the body for therapy
An important period in treatment is the examination that precedes it. Going through the various studies is the basis for selecting effective drug therapy. However, it will be important to properly coordinate the patient's diet. It is better to switch to a healthy and balanced diet before performing the parasite cleansing procedure.
A vegetarian diet is considered ideal. However, in addition to products of animal origin, it is worth forgetting heavy, fatty foods, sugar and refined foods. A light and gentle relief diet is recommended for two weeks. The body is very grateful if the diet is fortified with fruits, raw vegetables and freshly squeezed juices.
Particular attention should also be paid to your own drinking patterns. It is important to drink only purified water. The average daily amount of water must be at least 2 liters.
It is recommended to forget soda, thus pre-cleansing the intestines, kidneys and liver. If a person infected with helminths also suffers from constipation, it is better to start the enema for further effectiveness of therapy. In these cases, herbal decoctions of tansy, wormwood and other herbs are usually used.
Selection of an anthelmintic agent
Some degree of conventional anthelmintic can be divided into 3 types:
- synthesized chemicals;
- plant-based materials;
- homeopathic preparations.
Of course, each group has its own positive and negative sides. However, they all have one thing in common. They are all aimed at creating conditions for parasites that are absolutely unsuitable for their lives and reproduction. However, the course of therapy is usually long and can take up to 1-2 months or even a whole year.
The chemicals guarantee high efficiency and show the effect after 1-2 months. Nevertheless, such drugs are highly toxic and therefore toxic to both parasites and the body. In addition, the effect of such a drug is usually effective only on type 1-2 helminths.
Herbal preparations are herbal extracts or preparations thereof. Such "drugs" accumulate plant toxins in the body that are not tolerated by pests and are forced to leave the human body because they cannot adapt to them. In addition, such ingredients increase the body’s natural protective functions and are safe for it. Nevertheless, the duration of treatment with such devices 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 commensurate with the training of the homeopath and the ability to select appropriate therapies for the patient. Otherwise, the effect of the treatment will be zero.
Preparations against helminths, as already mentioned, should only be prescribed by a doctor after appropriate tests have been performed. In addition, the personal characteristics of the person must be taken into account when prescribing the remedy:
- the weight;
- disease;
- presence of allergies;
- intolerance to the components of the prescribed drug and other pathologies.
In addition, sensitive individual supervision of the treatment process takes place.
Preparations against nematodes
This subgroup of parasites includes fungal worms, tapeworms, whipworms, trichinella and toxocara. However, the most common cases of infections are the first two categories of pests.
To counteract these various drugs are effective, a specialist will select the right one.
Intestinal pests outside the body suggest a slightly different treatment. Ivermectin-based drugs help get rid of them quickly. But it is very important that you follow the instructions for the medication and take a second course. The fact is that these drugs only affect sexually mature individuals but are not effective in fighting their larvae and eggs.
In addition, it is recommended to make a cleansing enema and take a laxative after taking the medicine (preferably in the evening). Such measures significantly reduce the levels of toxins in the body.
Medicines against cestodes
Although a significant number of parasites are attributed to cestodes, infection with bovine tapeworm and broad tapeworm is most commonly found. This is a rather difficult case, but it is still possible to get rid of such parasites if you first think carefully about your therapy. Special medications prescribed by a person skilled in the art are productive in the treatment of cestodes.
Preparations against trematoda and dandruff
Lung, Chinese, feline, and liverworms belong to this vast group of parasites. This type of parasite is extremely dangerous in its effects on the human body, and delayed treatment can have serious consequences.
The range of drugs is quite wide, but it should not be experimented with. Seek medical attention if you suspect the presence of an intestinal worm or if you feel unreasonably worse.
