Opisthorchiasis is a parasitic disease that is caused by flatworms, it is characterized by a lesion of the liver and bile ducts. Infection occurs when a person consumes badly thermally processed contaminated fish. Opisthorchiasis is a dangerous disease that can lead to complications such as cholecystitis, liver abscess, pancreatitis, and in advanced cases, a malignant tumor may occur. Treatment of opisthorchiasis is always complex, before receiving anthelmintic drugs, such as Nemozol, a preparatory stage is necessary, and then - rehabilitation therapy.
Opisthorchias are sometimes treated with such tablets as Nemozol. They are destructive to the pathogens of the disease, the substance that is part of this drug, penetrates into the body of worms and causes certain disorders in the digestive system, resulting in parasites dying.
Nemosol against opisthorchiasis is infrequent, it, like other anthelminthic drugs, is very toxic. That is why it should be used with caution, you should first read the contraindications and a long list of possible side effects.
It is usually necessary to take Nemosol with opisthorchiasis for about 3 days, the dosage of the drug should be prescribed by the doctor, but sometimes it can make some adjustments, for example, to reduce or increase the rate. If this parasite is found in one family member, all people living with the patient should be examined.
To children these tablets are written out only from 2 years. You should refuse to take them if a person has serious liver disease, hematopoietic system, eye retina, and if there is an allergy to this medicine. Pregnant and lactating women Nemosol can not be taken, as are many other medicines from worms.
Nemosol and Vermox in opisthorchiasis, which is better?
The analogue of this drug is Vermox. It also has a wide range of activities. But Vermox in the treatment of opisthorchiasis is rarely used. Recent studies have shown that such drugs as Nemosol and Vermox, as well as their analogues in this disease are ineffective, but they are still used.
Both these drugs have a broad spectrum of action, they can be used in mixed invasions. In the composition of the drug Nemozol, the active substance is albendazole, it is effective for nematodes, giardiasis, toxocariasis and echinococcosis. With opisthorchiasis this medicine is used, but it is considered not very effective.
In the composition Vermox, the active substance is mebendazole, its structural analogue is albendazole, which is why these two drugs have a similar mechanism of action on parasites, they have almost identical contraindications and side effects. That's why to say which of these drugs is better is very difficult.
Rules for taking Vermox and Nemosol for opisthorchiasis
From all of the above it becomes clear that Nemosol and Vermox from the opisthorchiasis do not help much, but if the doctor has prescribed these medications, it is possible that the patient has some other kinds of worms.
In any case, when taking these funds, it is necessary to closely monitor your health for several days. If there are severe pains in the abdomen, vomiting, confusion, convulsions and headache, then you should immediately show yourself to the doctor. Among the side effects also there is a loss of a significant part of the hair and kidney failure. That is why independent choice and taking medication can be life-threatening.
When taking drugs such as Vermox and Nemosol with opisthorchiasis, there may be various side effects from the nervous system. That's why when treating these pills it is recommended to refrain from driving the car, as well as from potentially unsafe activities.
When taking any anthelmintic drugs, do not consume alcohol. The liver suffers from the invasion of helminths and toxic drugs, so it can not be loaded with alcohol. In addition, drinking alcohol during opisthorchiasis can aggravate the allergic reaction.
Treatment of opisthorchiasis in adults with Nemosol and Vermox is not very effective. That's why you can not independently prescribe yourself anthelmintic drugs, the doctor knows better which medicine will better help with this disease. With opisthorchiasis, the patient should be observed in hospital settings, with massive infection, the risk of side effects increases greatly, and they can be life-threatening.
