Benznidazole

Benznidazole is an anti-parasitic medication primarily used to treat Chagas disease, which is caused by the Trypanosoma cruzi parasite. This disease is mainly found in parts of Latin America and can cause serious heart and digestive issues if left untreated. Benznidazole works by interfering with the parasite's ability to reproduce and thrive within the human body. It’s important for patients to follow their doctor's guidance while taking this medication, as it can have side effects, and monitoring may be necessary to ensure its effectiveness and manage any adverse reactions.
