Anthelmintic
Anthelmintics are medications used to treat infections caused by parasitic worms, such as tapeworms, roundworms, and hookworms. They work by attacking the worms and either killing them or preventing them from reproducing and multiplying. The active ingredient in an anthelmintic is usually an organic compound, but it can also be a mineral or an inorganic compound. Examples of anthelmintics include praziquantel, albendazole, and mebendazole. Anthelmintics are effective at treating and preventing worm infections, but they can also have side effects. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. They may also cause an allergic reaction or interact with other medications. It is important to follow the instructions on the package carefully and consult with a doctor before taking an anthelmintic.
