Antiparasitics

Antiparasitics are medications designed to treat infections caused by parasites such as worms, protozoa, or mites. These drugs work by killing or disabling the parasites, preventing them from growing or causing illness. They are used to treat various conditions like intestinal worm infections, malaria, or scabies. The specific medication depends on the type of parasite involved. Proper diagnosis and prescription are important to ensure effective treatment and reduce the risk of resistance or side effects. Overall, antiparasitics play a crucial role in managing and preventing parasitic diseases affecting humans and animals.
