Description:

Praziquantel 600mg by Kachhela Medex is an anthelmintic (anti-worm) medication used to treat parasitic infections caused by tapeworms, flukes, and schistosomes. It works by paralyzing and destroying the parasites, allowing the body to eliminate them naturally.

Uses:

• Treatment of schistosomiasis (blood fluke infection)
• Treatment of liver flukes and intestinal fluke infections
• Effective against tapeworm infections (cestodiasis)
• May also be used for neurocysticercosis (pork tapeworm affecting the brain) under medical supervision

How It Works:

Praziquantel increases the permeability of parasite cell membranes, leading to muscle paralysis and disintegration of the worms. The body’s immune system then helps remove the dead parasites.
