Antiparasitic drug

An antiparasitic drug is a medication used to eliminate parasites—organisms like worms, protozoa, or other tiny creatures—that can infect humans or animals. These drugs target the parasites’ vital functions or structures, helping to eliminate the infection and alleviate symptoms. They are prescribed based on the type of parasite involved and are essential in treating diseases caused by infestations such as malaria, worms, or liver flukes. Proper use and dosage are important to ensure effectiveness and reduce the risk of resistance or side effects.
