Praised

Product Overview

Prazihet is an antiparasitic medication containing Praziquantel as its active ingredient. This broad-spectrum anthelmintic is primarily prescribed for treating infections caused by parasitic worms, including schistosomiasis, liver flukes (fascioliasis), and specific tapeworm infestations. The medication works by compromising the integrity of parasitic cell membranes, leading to paralysis and eventual elimination of the worms. Available in tablet form, Prazihet is commonly recommended by healthcare providers for both pediatric and adult patients suffering from parasitic infections.

Uses

Prazihet is clinically indicated for treating multiple parasitic infections such as:
– Schistosomiasis (caused by Schistosoma species)
– Liver fluke infections (fascioliasis)
– Tapeworm infections (including those caused by Taenia and Diphyllobothrium species)

These infections predominantly affect individuals residing in or visiting endemic regions. Prazihet effectively eradicates parasites, alleviating symptoms and preventing potential complications associated with these conditions.

How to Use

For optimal results:
1. Take tablets orally with a full glass of water
2. Administer with food to improve absorption and minimize gastrointestinal discomfort
3. Follow the prescribed dosage and treatment duration precisely
4. Swallow tablets whole without crushing or chewing
5. If swallowing difficulty occurs, tablets may be divided but not pulverized

How it Works

Prazihet exerts its therapeutic effect by:
– Altering parasite cell membrane permeability
– Binding to calcium channels in worm membranes
– Inducing calcium ion influx and muscular contraction
– Causing paralysis and detachment from host tissues
– Disrupting nutrient absorption, leading to parasite death

This mechanism provides broad-spectrum activity against various parasitic organisms.

– Varies according to infection type, patient age, and weight
– Typically administered as single dose or short course (1-3 days)
