Overview of preparations

When establishing the diagnosis of "ascariasis" it is required to begin treatment immediately. But you should not choose anthelmintic drugs yourself, because they contain toxic substances in their composition. Such components not only exert a destructive effect on parasites, but also negatively affect the human body. It is also important to strictly adhere to the dosage indicated in the instructions for use and appointed by your doctor.

Consider the most popular drugs that treat ascaridosis:

1. Decaris. This is the best medicine that helps get rid of ascaris in a short time. The components that make up Decaris in very rare cases cause side effects. But take it with caution, in no case exceeding the dosage. The advantage of the drug is that it should be taken once. In children, the use of Decaris is possible from 3 years of age. The dose is calculated based on the body weight - 2.5 kg of the drug will be needed per 1 kg of the infected person's weight.
2. Vermox. This medication helps to get rid of not only from ascarids, but also from other worms. Take it should be in the morning and in the evening for one tablet with a little water. Vermox can not be taken by pregnant and lactating women, and children up to 3 years. Tablets can cause nausea with vomiting when the form of ascariasis is started.
3. Wormil. This tool helps to get rid of ascarids at any stage of their development. In most cases, after the first use of tablets, ascarids leave the human body. How do the parasites get out? They are excreted from the patient's body together with feces. Wormil is available in the form of chewable tablets, take them one by one for 3-5 days. May cause the following side effects: violations of the functions of the gastrointestinal tract (heartburn, bloating, diarrhea, constipation), drowsiness or, conversely, insomnia. Contraindications are age up to 2 years, pregnancy and the period of breastfeeding.
4. Nemosol. This medicine is suitable for children. Available in the form of conventional tablets, as well as suspension, as well as chewing tablets. Take one tablet a day for 3-5 days. For children under two years, a suspension is recommended, since in this case it is possible to more accurately calculate the amount of the drug per kilogram of weight, thereby avoiding an overdose.

These pills help to get rid not only of adults, but also of ascaris eggs. With the help of medicines, you can cure ascariasis, both in adults and in children.

It is important to know! If the child during the treatment of ascariasis, there are serious side effects, then the drug is better to change! For this it is necessary to consult the attending physician.

Preparations for complex treatment

During the excretion of ascaris, the human body undergoes a serious load in the form of toxins released during the death of ascaris, as well as the anthelmintic drugs that are being taken. Therefore, the complex treatment of this parasitic disease involves the use of not only anthelmintic drugs, but also the following tools to maintain the body in the norm:

1. Enterosorbents - Lactofiltrum, Smecta and others.
2. Enzyme preparations - Creon, Mezim Forte and their analogs.
3. Probiotics.
4. Complex vitamins.

These groups of drugs help to normalize the intestinal microflora, improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and improve the protective functions of the body.

Also, during the treatment should be a diet. It provides for the exclusion of sweets, spicy, fatty and fried foods. It is required not to forget about the drinking regime. This will help to minimize the duration of treatment of ascaridosis.

Prevention of disease

In order to prevent infection with helminths such as ascarids, it is necessary to adhere to such rules:

• To remove street footwear at the entrance to the premises, in any case not to walk in it at home;
• After walking, visiting the toilet and before eating, you must wash your hands with soap and water;
• children's toys regularly wash and pour with boiling water;
• thoroughly wash fresh vegetables and fruits before using them;
• drink only purified or boiled water, from the flow should be discarded;
• If the animal lives in the house, it should periodically give antihelminthic drugs for prevention;
• in time to cut the nails of the child;
• when in the house of an infected person, it is required to disinfect the lid of the toilet bowl daily;
• After contact with the soil, hands should be washed.

Observance of these simple rules will help to avoid damage to the human body not only by ascarids, but also by other types of helminths. If an infected person appears in the family, then all members of the family should undergo a course of treatment with anthelmintic medicines for preventive purposes. It is necessary to strictly observe the elementary rules of personal hygiene and teach this to children.

Doctor's opinion

It should be borne in mind that recent studies have noted the increasing resistance of helminths to classical drugs used for many years. For example, the popular Decaris is currently effective only in half the cases. Therefore, newer, more modern drugs should be used, to which the parasites have not yet developed resistance, for example, drugs based on albendazole (Nemosol) or mebendazole (Vormin, Vermox).

Also a prerequisite for the successful cure of helminths is the simultaneous treatment of all family members living together. Only in this case it is possible to speak with confidence about the effective treatment of helminthiases.
