Parasites still pose a serious threat. That is why you need to know the possible ways to deal with 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 inhabiting 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 harm when they get inside 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 its relevance.
Specificity of drug therapy
It is possible to get rid of parasites with medication or through folk methods. Nevertheless, 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 productive means of combating parasites, but they are quite toxic, so they can only be taken as directed by a doctor.
Even treatment with drugs 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.
In addition, in recent years, the problem of resistance of parasites 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 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 childbearing and lactation. Pests that have occupied the human body are divided into 3 subgroups:
- nematodes;
- trematodes;
- cestodes.
Based on which group the pest belongs to, drug therapy is prescribed. This is partly why it's so hard to get rid of them on your own without hurting yourself even more.
Preparing the body for therapy
An important period in the treatment is the course of examination preceding it. The passage 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 carrying out the procedure for cleansing from parasites, 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 adhere to 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, liver. If a person infected with helminths, in addition, suffers from constipation, then it is better to start practicing enemas, for a better further result of therapy. In these cases, herbal decoctions of tansy, wormwood and other herbs are usually used.
Choice of anthelmintic agent
Antihelminthic drugs with a certain degree of conventionality can be divided into 3 types:
- synthesized chemicals;
- substances with a plant base;
- homeopathic preparations.
Naturally, each of the groups will have both its positive and negative sides. However, they all have a common feature. They are all aimed at creating conditions for parasites that are absolutely unsuitable for their life and reproduction. However, the course of therapy is usually long and can last as much as 1-2 months, or stretch for a whole year.
Chemicals guarantee a high rate of effectiveness and show the effect after 1-2 months. Nevertheless, such drugs are endowed with a high level of toxicity, therefore they poison both parasites and the body. In addition, as a rule, the action of such a medication is effective only for 1-2 types of helminths.
Herbal preparations are herbal extracts or their preparations. 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 it. 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, his ability to choose the right remedies for the patient. Otherwise, the effect of the treatment will be zero.
Preparations for helminths, as already mentioned, are prescribed by a doctor only after appropriate tests have been carried out. In addition, when prescribing a remedy, the personal characteristics of a person must be taken into account:
- his weight;
- age;
- the presence of allergies;
- intolerance to the components of the prescribed drug and other pathologies.
Further, sensitive individual supervision 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. Medicines based on ivermectin will help to quickly get rid of them. But it is very important to follow the instructions for the drug and conduct a second course of treatment. The fact is that these drugs act only on sexually mature individuals, but are not effective in combating their larvae and eggs.
In addition, after the medicine has been drunk (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 cestodes, however, infection with bovine tapeworm and wide tapeworm is most often found. This is a rather difficult case, but it is still possible to get rid of such parasites after carefully considering the therapy. 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 fluke, Chinese fluke, feline fluke, and liver fluke. This type of parasite is extremely dangerous in its effect on the human body and delayed 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.
