Praziquantel is used to treat infections caused by parasitic worms, especially tapeworms and schistosomiasis. It works by paralyzing the parasites inside the body, making it easier for the immune system to get rid of them and leading to their gradual death. It is used in cases of chronic infections that may affect the liver, intestines, or bladder. It is highly effective if taken according to the dose prescribed by the doctor. It should be taken with food to increase its absorption. The patient may need one or more doses depending on the type of parasite and the severity of the infection. It is not recommended to use
praziquantel without consulting a doctor, especially in cases of pregnancy or liver disease. The condition must be monitored after treatment to ensure complete elimination of parasites.
