In order to get rid of worms, you will definitely have to take special medications. Most tablets against worms have a wide range of action, that is, they are designed to "expel" round and tape worms of various types. But some types of helminthiasis can not be cured by a single intake of tablets from worms. To prevent relapse, before taking the medicine from the worms, you should identify the parasite and get a doctor's recommendation on the treatment.
