Anthelmintic drugs

Anthelmintic drugs are medications used to treat infections caused by parasitic worms, such as roundworms, tapeworms, and hookworms. These drugs work by either killing the worms or stopping their growth, helping the body eliminate the parasites. They are commonly prescribed for people and animals infected with these worms, which can cause symptoms like digestive issues, fatigue, and nutritional deficiencies. The specific drug used depends on the type of worm involved and the infection's severity. Proper use of anthelmintics is important to effectively clear the infection and prevent re-infection.
