Parasites are also distributed to tissue and luminal. Tissue worms live in muscles, tissues and organs. The brain is affected by cysticercosis, lungs - paragonimosis, liver - echinococcosis, lymphatic vessels - filariasis. There are worms, which in the initial stage of migration are localized in tissues, for example, ascarids.
How do these drugs work?
These are chemotherapeutic drugs that realize their effect on biological structures of worms and biochemical processes in their tissues:
- Violate the work of cells of the intestinal canal helminth (albendazole).
- Strongly violate the absorption of glucose by helminth cells, causing their death (mebendazole).
- Combined action: paralyzes helminths and disrupts biochemical processes in their cells (levamisole).
- Block the transmission of nerve impulses to muscle cells and cause persistent paralysis of the helminth, after which it is excreted from the body with the feces. So act pyrantel, piperazine, prazikvantel.
