Parasites are still a serious threat. Therefore, you need to know the possible ways to deal with them, as well as a list of drugs that will help in this process.
The human body is a whole world that is attacked by the environment and the microorganisms that live there. Not all of them are useful or neutral in relation to humans. 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 multiply using a person's internal resources, 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 the carrier. Not surprisingly, 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 drugs or folk remedies. However, traditional medicine recommends using the latter only to prevent the appearance of pests or in combination with drug treatment. Otherwise, you may experience aggravation of the disease or its serious complications.
Medicines are still more effective in combating parasites, but they are quite toxic, so they can be taken only with a doctor's prescription.
Even treatment with parasites is not an easy task, and it is unlikely that a person will be able to get rid of such an unpleasant neighborhood very quickly. In fact, the mechanisms of all anthelmintic pills are characterized by a complex action that is not fully understood.
In addition, in recent years the problem of resistance of parasites to them has become quite serious. Unfortunately, the percentage of drug innovations in this area is small, as residents of third world countries are mainly engaged in such problems. However, they are innovative drugs that can be considered the most effective.
It should be borne in mind that you should not use antiparasitic drugs for viral and somatic diseases, as well as intestinal infections. Such treatment is also prohibited during childbirth and lactation. Pests occupying the human body are divided into 3 subgroups:
- nematodes;
- trematodes;
- cestodes.
Drug treatment is prescribed depending on the group to which the pest belongs. In part, that's why it's so hard to get rid of them on your own without hurting yourself more.
Preparing the body for therapy
An important period in the treatment is the previous course of examination. Different studies are the basis for choosing an effective method of drug treatment. However, it will be important to coordinate the patient's nutrition in the right direction. It is better to follow a healthy and balanced diet before performing the parasite cleansing procedure.
Vegetarian diet is considered ideal. However, in addition to animal products, it is better to forget about heavy, fatty foods, sugar and refined foods. It is recommended to follow a light and careful emptying diet for two weeks. If the diet is enriched with fruits, raw vegetables and freshly squeezed juices, the body will thank you very much.
You should also pay special attention to your 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-cleaning the intestines, kidneys and liver. If a person infected with helminths also suffers from constipation, it is better to start enemas for better results of therapy. In these cases, herbal decoctions of tansy, wormwood and other herbs are usually used.
Choice of antihelmintic agent
To some extent, conditional antihelminthic drugs can be divided into 3 types:
- synthesized chemicals;
- plant-based ingredients;
- homeopathic remedies.
Of course, each group will have both advantages and disadvantages. However, they all have one thing in common. All of them are aimed at creating conditions for parasites that are completely unfit for life and reproduction. However, the course of therapy is usually long and can last up to 1-2 months or last all year.
The chemicals guarantee high effectiveness and show their effect after 1-2 months. However, such drugs have a high degree of toxicity, so they poison both parasites and the body. In addition, as a rule, the effect of such a drug is effective only for 1-2 species of helminths.
Herbal preparations are plant extracts or their preparations. Such "drugs" accumulate plant toxins in the body that are not tolerated by pests, and are forced to leave the human body because they can not adapt to them. In addition, such components enhance the body's natural protective functions and are safe for it. However, the duration of treatment with such means is quite long and can take up to a year.
Homeopathic remedies - such treatment is also long-term and lasts from 3 months to a year. The effectiveness of such treatment is proportional to the specialty of the homeopath, the ability to choose the right treatment for the patient. Otherwise, the effect of treatment will be zero.
Preparations for helminths, as already mentioned, are prescribed by a doctor only after appropriate tests. In addition, when prescribing a tool, the individual characteristics of a person should be taken into account:
- its weight;
- age;
- presence of allergies;
- intolerance to the components of the prescribed drug and other pathologies.
In addition, sensitive individual monitoring of the course of treatment is carried out.
Drugs against nematodes
This subgroup of parasites includes pinworms, roundworms, whipworms, trichinella, and toxocara. However, the most common infections are the first two categories of pests.
Different drugs are effective to combat them, a specialist will choose the appropriate one.
Extra-intestinal pests in the body offer a slightly different treatment. Medications based on ivermectin will help to get rid of them quickly. However, it is very important to follow the instructions for the drug and take a second course of treatment. The fact is that these drugs affect only sexually mature adults, but are not effective in combating their larvae and eggs.
In addition, it is recommended to take a cleansing enema and take a laxative after intoxication (preferably in the evening). Such measures will significantly reduce the level of toxins in the body.
Treatment of cestodes
Although many parasites are cestodes, they are most commonly transmitted to cattle and large bands. This is quite a difficult situation, but it is still possible to get rid of such parasites by carefully looking at the therapy at first. These are special drugs prescribed by a productive specialist in the treatment of cestodes.
Drugs against trematodes and depletion
This group of giant parasites includes lung, china, cat and liver hair. This type of parasite is extremely dangerous in terms of its impact on the human body, and delayed therapy can lead to serious consequences.
The range of medications is quite wide, but you should not experiment. If you suspect the presence of helminths or feel unreasonably worse, consult a doctor.
