Medicine Description pyrantel-uniswab 250 mg
pyrantel uniswab oral suspension 6 unit is a medication utilized primarily as an anthelmintic for the treatment of certain parasitic worm infections. Its active ingredient, pyrantel, operates through a unique mechanism that disrupts the neuromuscular function of the parasites. By selectively binding to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on the surface of the worms, pyrantel induces a persistent activation of these receptors. This prolonged stimulation leads to spastic paralysis of the worms, rendering them unable to maintain their attachment to the intestinal wall and facilitating their expulsion from the host's body through natural peristalsis.
