Parasites still pose a serious threat. This is why you need to know the possible ways to treat them as well as 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 inhabit it. Not everyone is helpful or neutral about a person. About 95% of people sooner or later encounter aggressive parasites (fungi, worms). These organisms can cause considerable damage when introduced inside a person, so it is extremely important to get rid of them as soon as possible. Helminths live and reproduce using a person's 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. It is not surprising that the question of how to get rid of parasites in the body does not lose its importance.
Specification of drug therapy
Parasites can be removed with medication or folk methods. However, traditional medicine strongly recommends the use of the latter only as a means of preventing the onset of pests or in conjunction with drug therapy. Otherwise, you may feel the disease worsening or its serious complications.
Medications are still a much more productive tool to fight parasites, but they are quite toxic, so they can only be taken as directed by a doctor.
Even treating with parasites is not an easy task and it is unlikely that a person will be rescued 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 parasite resistance to them has become quite serious. And since residents of third world countries are mainly concerned with such problems, the percentage of medical innovations in this field, alas, is small. However, it is the innovative drugs that can be considered most effective.
It is important to keep in mind that you should not use antiparasitic drugs for viral and somatic diseases, as well as for intestinal infections. Such treatment is also prohibited during childbirth and lactation. Pests that have invaded the human body are divided into 3 subgroups:
- nematodat;
- trematodat;
- cestodet.
Based on which group the pest belongs to, drug therapy is prescribed. This is partly why it is so difficult to get rid of them yourself without hurting yourself even more.
Preparing the body for therapy
An important period in treatment is the examination course that precedes them. Passing 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 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 adhere to a light and sparing discharge 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 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, thus 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 outcome of therapy. In these cases, herbal teas of tansy, wormwood and other herbs are commonly used.
Choice of anthelmintic agent
Anthelmintic drugs 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 its positive and negative sides. However, they all have one thing in common. They all aim 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 1-2 months, or last for a whole year.
Chemicals guarantee a high degree 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. In addition, as a rule, the action of such a drug is effective only for 1-2 species of helminths.
Herbal preparations are plant extracts or preparations thereof. Such "drugs" accumulate plant poisons in the body, which are not tolerated by pests and are forced to leave the human body because they can not adapt to them. Moreover, such ingredients enhance the body's natural protective functions and are safe for it. However, the treatment period with such tools is quite long and can last up to a year.
Homeopathic remedies - such treatment is also long-term and includes a course of 3 months to a year. The effectiveness of such treatment is in proportion to the qualifications of the homeopath, his ability to choose the right medication 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 proper tests have been performed. Furthermore, when prescribing a medicine, the personal characteristics of a person should be taken into account:
- its 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 performed.
Preparations for nematodes
This subset of parasites includes breast worms, roundworms, whipworms, trichinella, and toxocara. However, the most common cases of infection are the first two categories of pests.
To combat them, different medicines are effective, a specialist will choose the right one.
Extraintestinal pests in the body suggest a slightly different treatment. Ivermectin-based medications will help get rid of them quickly. But it is very important to follow the instructions for the medicine and do 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 taking the medicine (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, however, bovine tapeworm and broadband infection is most commonly found. This is a very difficult case, but it is still possible to get rid of such parasites by carefully considering the therapy first. Productive in the treatment of cestodes are special drugs prescribed by a specialist.
Preparations against trematodes and fluxes
This large group of parasites includes the lungs, Chinese, cats, and liver. 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.
