As practice shows, there is no other alternative to drug treatment of ascaridosis. No folk remedy can help to eliminate the invasion and restore after the treatment the health undermined by it. Modern pharmaceuticals offer a wide range of antihelminthic drugs. In the treatment of ascaridosis in children, Pirantelu is preferred. It is well tolerated by kids of any age, but it is only used as directed by a doctor. Starting with six months of life, it is recommended to use a suspension for therapeutic purposes. It has an effect in the intestines of a sick child, while the medicine is not absorbed by the walls of the hollow organ, which helps to significantly reduce the risks of possible complications.
At the heart of the drug is an active substance that causes blockade of neurons of the muscle tissue of roundworms. It acts on both adults and parasites at the earliest stage of their development. How do the quarries after Pirantel come out of the intestine? Natural way with feces. How many do the roundworms die after taking Pirantel? In a few hours! Once the drug dissolves in the intestine, it immediately immobilizes the worms, but does not kill them. That is why it is so important during the therapy to observe with special care the rules of personal hygiene and recommendations for the prevention of re-infection of the child.
When is Pirantel appointed from ascarids?
Absolute indication for taking the described drug is enterobiosis and ascariasis in the second stage of infection. The described preparation will help to get rid of any kinds of round worms. Kill the ascarid larvae Pirantelom can not. Therefore, there is no point in using the drug at the stage of migration of the larvae. But if the ascariasis has passed to its second stage, if the adult specimens of roundworms are actively parasitizing in the intestine, then the best medicine for fighting the invasion can not be found. As already mentioned above, the suspension has a mild effect, it is not absorbed into the intestinal wall and is removed in its main volume from the body naturally. A small part of the drug has time to get into the blood, but it disintegrates very quickly in the liver into metabolic products, and they in turn, after disintegration without complications, are excreted by the genitourinary system. The absence of toxic effects is the main advantage of Pirantel. That is why the medicine is so readily included by the doctors in the scheme of treatment of ascaridosis in children.
