Medicine Description belicide 600mg
Belicide 600 mg tablets is a medication that contains praziquantel, which acts primarily by disrupting the integrity of the cell membranes of susceptible parasites. This disruption leads to increased permeability, allowing calcium ions to enter the parasite's cells. Consequently, this influx results in muscle contraction and paralysis of the parasites, effectively immobilizing them. Following immobilization, the immune system can more easily target and eliminate these parasites. Praziquantel also induces damage to the tegument, the protective outer layer of the parasites, further facilitating their death and clearance from the host.
