How to take the drug Nemozol for children or adults for treatment and prevention - dosage, analogues and price

If there are parasites in the body, it is important to take timely measures. Nemozol will help with this.

Every person experiences parasitic diseases. Increased hygiene does not exclude the possibility of infection. The source of worms can be raw foods, tap water, animals, etc. It is advisable to periodically carry out prevention. If parasites are detected, appropriate measures must be taken immediately, without delay. Before taking the first drug you come across, it is necessary to study the safety and effectiveness of the drug.

Cautions

A gastroenterologist, proctologist-oncologist diagnoses and treats various diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and intestines, including cancer.
Performs esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy. Consults on the results of endoscopic and morphological studies. Nemozol belongs to the group of anthelmintic drugs. Albendazole is its active ingredient. In addition, the composition also includes auxiliary substances. Albendazole sulfoxide helps block the movement of secretory granules and other organelles in the muscle cells of roundworms, causing their death. The drug is available in the form of tablets and suspensions. The active substance is almost completely distributed throughout the body and is excreted in the urine. The drug is used to treat various types of helminthic infestations.

The country of origin of the drug is India. Nemozol can be purchased at a pharmacy or ordered online on the website. The average price of a medicine depends on the place of purchase, the pharmacy, and the form of release.

Average cost:

• chewable tablets - 184 rubles;
• suspension - 179 rubles;
• tablets - 176 rubles.

Structural analogues of the drug are Sanoxal (India) and Gelmodol VM (UK). There are Russian analogues, but they belong to drugs that are similar in pharmacological action.

Analogs

If there is an individual intolerance to one of the components of Nemozol, the doctor can replace the drug with one of the following analogue drugs:

• Gelmodol-VM is a drug with anthelmintic and antiprotozoal action, the active component is micronized albendazole (200 mg in one tablet)
• Sanoxal is a structural analogue of Nemozol based on albendazole.
• Albendazole is a tablet with an antiparasitic anthelmintic effect.
• Decaris is an anthelmintic drug based on levamisole hydrochloride in tablet form.
• Vermox is an antiparasitic agent based on mebendazole in the form of tablets and suspensions, containing 100 mg of active ingredient per tablet and 5 ml of suspension.

Contraindications and side effects

It is strictly forbidden to take any form of medication if you have an individual intolerance to one of the elements included in the composition. If you are not sure that you are not allergic to the active substance, consult your doctor. The drug is also contraindicated in the following cases:

1. Infants up to one year old, since at such a young age taking it will cause Nemozol poisoning.
2. Pregnant women and women during lactation. The active components included in the composition are easily absorbed and pass into breast milk, although the drug is quickly eliminated from the mother’s body.
3. The drug should not be taken in case of liver failure or other diseases of the organ that removes toxins from the body.
4. You should not resort to this medicine if the patient has concomitant diseases of the retina. The consequences of this can be dangerous for your eyesight.
5. If you take a pill and drive, you can get into an accident because your reaction time is greatly reduced.

Side effects with Nemozol are quite rare and are mainly associated with the wrong choice of course of treatment and violation of dosages. Perhaps the most common problem from taking albendazole tablet or suspension is temporary impairment of attention and reaction. This is due to the effect of the active substance on the hypothalamus, one of the glands in the human brain.

Other short-term side effects are possible:

• headaches;
• dizziness;
• diarrhea. If diarrhea is a side effect, you should not take the drug at night;
• vomiting and nausea;
• drowsiness and general lethargy of the body.

Contraindications

• retinal damage;
• pregnancy;
• hypersensitivity to the drug and other benzimidazole derivatives.

Use with caution in case of hematopoietic disorders or liver dysfunction (liver function should be regularly monitored before and during treatment).

The drug is contraindicated for use during pregnancy. If it is necessary to prescribe the drug during lactation, the issue of stopping breastfeeding should be decided.

Before prescribing the drug, you should ensure that women of childbearing age are not pregnant. During therapy, reliable methods of contraception should be used.

How to take the drug

Nemozol is recommended for the treatment of worms. But the medicine can also be used for preventive protection against protozoa. Nemozol is prescribed for prevention for children and adults. The exceptions are children under two years of age and pregnant women.

It is recommended to drink Nemozol for prevention in a dosage of 400 mg. The daily dose should be taken once, preferably after meals. The reception period is three days.

In addition to taking medications, prevention of worms consists of other rules:

1. Personal hygiene after walking outside or contact with animals.
2. Rules for cooking food.
3. Drinking clean water.
4. Processing fruits and vegetables before serving.
5. Periodic examination for the presence of parasites in the body.

If parasites are detected in the body of at least one family member, it is recommended that everyone undergo treatment. Otherwise, there is a high risk of re-infection.

How to avoid infection with worms after using Nemozol - prevention

Preventive measures will help prevent the emergence of invasive diseases.

• Increased hand hygiene, especially before eating. Careful monitoring of children's hygiene.
• High-quality washed fruits and vegetables. Scalding raw foods with boiling water.
• The diet should contain only boiled and purified water.
• High-quality heat treatment of meat and fish.
• It is forbidden to carry out water procedures in reservoirs of dubious nature.
• Minimizing contact with midges and mosquitoes using special means.
• Prevention of worms in pets.

The best analogue of Nemozol

The drug is well absorbed and distributed evenly throughout all organs of the gastrointestinal tract. It is worth noting that the active ingredients of Tinidazole enter the systemic circulation. This helps to enhance the therapeutic effect.

Tinidazole taken begins to act within 10-20 minutes.

The dosage of the product is as follows:

1. When treating giardiasis or trichomoniasis, the dosage is 2 grams. If the patient is under 18 years of age, then the dosage is 50-75 mg per 1 kg of weight. The duration of treatment is 1 day.
2. For intestinal amebiasis, the dosage is 2 grams for adults, and 45 mg per 1 kg of weight for children. The duration of the course of treatment is 3 days.
3. For hepatic amebiasis, adult patients should consume 2-2.5 grams, and children should take 50-60 mg per 1 kg of weight. The duration of the course of treatment is 5-6 days.

Tinidazole is a relatively safe drug. However, it is not recommended for use by children under 3 years of age, lactating women and pregnant women. Another contraindication for use is an allergy to the ingredients of the product, organic disorders in the central nervous system, dysfunction of the hematopoietic system. In case of liver and kidney failure, the medication can be used. In this case, there is no need to adjust the dosage.

While using Tinidazole, it is not recommended to drink alcoholic beverages or use other anthelmintic drugs. If the drug is used for a long period of time, then you need to monitor peripheral blood counts. It is worth noting that this medication affects the reaction rate, therefore, when using it, it is not recommended to work with potentially dangerous mechanisms or drive vehicles.

The video in this article provides a complete overview of the drug Nemozol.

In addition, the clinical effectiveness of administration has been proven, as well as against tissue invasions - toxocariasis, echinococcosis (liver, lung tissue, peritoneum), neurocysticercosis caused by pork tapeworm larvae.

After taking the drug orally, approximately 5% is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Concomitant consumption of fatty foods increases this figure to 25%. Albendazole metabolites bind well to blood proteins and distribute to various organs and tissues, reaching the liver, cerebrospinal fluid, urine, and bile. Penetration into cystic cavities leads to infection of helminth cysts. The drug is excreted in bile and urine, so in patients with liver and gallbladder diseases, the maximum concentration of the drug in the blood is doubled, and the half-life is extended.

Pharmacokinetics of nemosol

Suction. After oral administration, the drug is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is not detected in unchanged form in the blood plasma. Bioavailability when taken orally is low. Eating fatty foods increases absorption and maximum concentration by 5 times.

Metabolism . Albendazole is quickly converted in the liver into the primary metabolite, albendazole sulfoxide, which also has anthelmintic activity.

Distribution. The maximum plasma concentration of albendazole sulfoxide is achieved 2-5 hours after administration. 70% of the metabolite is bound to plasma proteins and is completely distributed throughout the body: found in urine, bile, liver, in the wall and fluid of helminth cysts, and cerebrospinal fluid.

Excretion. Albendazole sulfoxide is converted in the liver to albendazole sulfone (a secondary metabolite) and other oxidized products.

The half-life of albendazole sulfoxide is 8-12 hours. It is excreted through the kidneys in the form of various metabolites. Renal excretion of albendazole and albendazole sulfoxide is negligible. In patients with impaired renal function, clearance does not change.

In patients with liver damage, bioavailability increases, the maximum concentration of albendazole sulfoxide in the blood plasma increases by 2 times, and the half-life is extended.

Albendazole induces cytochrome CYP1A2 in human liver cells and accelerates the metabolism of many drugs.

The most effective analogues for the prevention of helminthic infestations

For various reasons, often associated with contraindications, taking Nemozol may be prohibited for a person to prevent helminthic infestations. Therefore, the question may arise: “what product can replace it?” Many parasitologists recommend using the drug “Helmintox” for prevention. This remedy copes no less effectively with its task of preventing helminthiasis infection. The advantage of such a medicine is that the components of the drug are well tolerated. Side effects are rare.

But Helmintox also has some disadvantages, which can also affect the quality of prevention. They are associated with a smaller spectrum of action of the drug component - Pyrantel. "Helmintox" kills both mature individuals and larvae. But it only effectively copes with hookworms, pinworms and roundworms. It does not kill tapeworms or flatworms. For preventive purposes, this product is prohibited for pregnant and breastfeeding women. It is also not recommended for use by children under 6 years of age.

Some parasitologists also advise their patients to use drugs such as:

All of these anthelmintics are as toxic as Nemozol. Therefore, you should consult a doctor before using them, even if this or that remedy is planned to be used for preventive purposes.

Compound

The composition of the medication includes the main active ingredient, as well as auxiliary elements.
The main substance of Nemozol is albendazole, a drug that forms albedozole sulfoxide in the liver, which provides a systemic effect. Research results have shown that albendazole kills not only adult helminths, but also eggs and larvae of parasites.

Nemozol tablets in p/o contain 0.4 g of albendazole, corn starch, povidone-30, purified talc, sodium lauryl sulfate, gelatin, silicon dioxide (in colloidal form), sodium starch glycolate, methyl and propyl paraben, magnesium stearate. Composition p/o: titanium dioxide, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, propylene glycol; methylene chloride and isopropanol (evaporate when dried).

Nemozol chewable tablets contain 0.4 g of albendazole, corn starch, povidone-30, purified talc, sodium lauryl sulfate, silicon dioxide (colloidal form), gelatin, citric acid, methyl and propyl paraben, sodium starch glycolate, aspartame, magnesium stearate, flavorings (pineapple/mint).

The Nemozol suspension contains albendazole at a concentration of 20 mg/ml. Auxiliary components: MCC, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, sorbitol solution, benzoic and sorbic acids, glycerin (glycerol), potassium hydrochloride, polysorbate-80, flavorings (ice cream essences/mixed fruit flavor), purified water.

Nemozol is sold in pharmacies in three versions

• suspension in liquid form (syrup) in 20 ml bottles;
• tablets of 10 pieces in blister packs;
• chewable tablets.

It is recommended to store Nemozol in a well-ventilated area with a temperature not exceeding 25 degrees.

The active component of the anthelmintic drug is albendazole. In addition to it, the drug contains other substances: gelatin, corn starch, sodium lauryl sulfate, talc, povidone.

The drug is also available in the form of a suspension

Description of the drug

Today Nemozol is considered one of the most effective medicines for curing parasites, such as helminthic infestations, protozoan pathogens, tissue and intestinal pests, as well as other helminths at any stage of their development.

The drug Nemozol contains the main active ingredient albendazole, which has a destructive effect on the metabolic processes of parasites and also destroys their shell, due to which the parasites are no longer able to absorb glucose, which is vital for them, from the human body and die.

The active substance of the drug enters the human liver, transforming there into albendazole sulfoxide; this new component has a clear antiparasitic effect. And after only a day, the death of the pests occurs, after which they are eliminated from the body by excreting feces.

Pharmaceuticals suggest two forms of release of Nemozol: suspension and chewable tablets. One tablet contains 400 mg of the active ingredient; in general, the packaging of tablets suggests different dosages - 200 and 400 mg. Another advantage of this method of treating parasites is the average price level. Nemozol tablets will cost from 200 to 300 rubles, it all depends on the manufacturer and the region of Russia where they will be sold. In turn, the suspension will not cost much more.

The principle of operation of the drug Nemozol

Nemozol is perfect for cleansing the body of parasites. The functionality of the drug is aimed at eliminating parasitic diseases and does not have a negative effect on the body as a whole.

• The tablet form of the drug is popular. The active ingredients are hidden behind a protective layer. The main composition of the drug includes albendazole. The auxiliary components are gelatin, corn starch, purified talc, sodium lauryl sulfate, propylparaben, methylparaben, stearic acid, etc.
• The potent drug Nemozol performs anthelmintic functions. The process in the body occurs under the influence of the main substance albendazole. The drug has a destructive effect on the structure of helminth cells.
• Biochemical disorders have an inhibitory effect on the cell division of eggs and larvae of parasites. Albendazole blocks the muscle activity of helminths, which leads to their death.
• Due to the high concentration of the drug in plasma and tissues, high effectiveness of the drug is achieved. Nemozol has a wide spectrum of action and effectively copes with most pathogens of invasive diseases.

Take internally

• When taking the medicine, the active component is poorly absorbed into the stomach and intestines. The converted substance albendazole sulfoxide enters the plasma. The bioavailability of the drug in the body is low.
• The effect of the drug will increase under the influence of fatty foods. The concentration of the active substance increases several times. Therefore, it is advisable to take the drug with meals.
• With the help of the liver, albendazole is converted into the active substance albendazole sulfoxide. The maximum concentration of the drug occurs several hours after use. The substance acts through blood, urine, bile, and cerebrospinal fluid.
• The secondary substance is eliminated from the body within ten or more hours. Metabolic products exit through the kidneys. Deviations in kidney function do not affect the process of drug elimination. With liver diseases, the duration of cleansing the body is extended. At the same time, the concentration of the substance in the blood increases sharply.

The functioning of albendazole increases the transformation of the composition of other drugs.

How often do you take Nemozol?

Like many other effective drugs against parasites, Nemozol is taken strictly as needed and for preventive purposes. Based on this, parasitologists advise using the drug when one of the family members is diagnosed with helminthiasis, to destroy parasites and prevent others from the risk of infection.

It is forbidden to mix the drug with alcohol-containing drinks, as alcohol enhances the hepatotoxic effect of Nemozol. The substance of this medicine is absorbed in the intestines, so it is recommended to eat fatty foods during therapy. The beneficial effect of the active component Nemozol occurs within a day after the first dose.

How does Nemozol work against parasites? The medication has the following effect on helminths that infect the human body:

• blocking all biochemical processes occurring in parasitic bodies, helminth eggs, oncospheres;
• provoking rapid destruction of the parasitic cell membrane;
• death of worms under the influence of albendazole.

Nemozol has a targeted effect on the intestinal tract of parasites. This happens with the help of the main active ingredient of the drug included in its composition - albendazole. It is able to inhibit the polymerization of beta-tubulin, which destroys the microtubules contained in the cytoplasm in the intestines of helminths, and also disrupts the ability of the parasite body to synthesize ATP and utilize sugars.

How long does it take for the anti-parasite medication to work? The effect can be noticed within a day. Worms leave the body along with feces in live or digested form.

Like any medication, Nemozol for the prevention or treatment of diseases caused by helminths can lead to the formation of the following pathological conditions and sensations:

• activation of the production of liver enzymes;
• dryness of mucous membranes, which are localized in the oral cavity;
• stomatitis;
• feeling of nausea and vomiting;
• bowel disorders;
• pain in the epigastric region;
• decrease in the number of leukocytes and platelets in the blood;
• arterial hypertension;
• perception disorders;
• disorientation in space and time;
• changes in periods of sleep and wakefulness;
• visual disturbances;
• headache;
• delusions and visions;
• disturbance of consciousness;
• manifestations of allergies (rash, dermatitis, itching);
• alopecia;
• impaired renal function.

Pyrantel or Nemozol which is better for prevention

Pyrantel is indicated for use in children from 6 months of age. Shows the greatest activity against enterobiasis and ascariasis. Does not affect cysts and larval forms of helminths. Nemozol, compared to Dekaris and Pirantel, has a wide range of suppressed parasites and their larvae. Nemozol is presented in solid and liquid dosage forms, which consumers like. The suspension has a pleasant taste and its dosage is easy to adjust. The tablets are ideal for a travel first aid kit.

Regardless of the brand and form of the medicine, store it in a dry, dark place out of the reach of children. If a child accidentally drinks the medicine, call an ambulance immediately. While the doctor is on the way, drink up to 1 liter of water and induce vomiting by pressing on the root of the tongue. After cleansing the stomach, crushed activated carbon is given at the rate of one tablet per 10 kg of body weight.

Comparison of Nemozol and other agents (which is better?)

NEMOSOL OR VERMOX? The active ingredients of these drugs are different: Vermox contains mebendazole, and Nemozol contains albendazole. Despite this, these anthelmintics have a similar mechanism of action and are used against a wide range of worms.

NEMOSOL OR DECARIS? The basis of Decaris is levamisole, a substance that is most active against nematodes: pinworms or roundworms. Nemozol, unlike Dekaris, has a stronger effect, acting against all types of parasites. That is why experts included both of these drugs in a complex regimen - at the initial stage of which the active ingredient levamisole is used, and at the final stage - albendazole. Both drugs complement each other's actions, so it would be incorrect to compare which is better - Nemozol or Dekaris.

SANOXAL OR NEMOZOL? As mentioned above, their composition is the same, so the effect on helminths will be similar. One drug replaces another if necessary, that is, in this case you don’t have to think about whether Nemozol or a drug with another active ingredient, for example, Dekaris, is better.

MCMIROR OR NEMOZOL? Macmiror acts as an antimicrobial, antiprotozoal and antifungal agent. This drug belongs to the group analogues of Nemozol - both of these drugs can successfully act in the treatment of giardiasis. Macmiror is no less effective than Nemozol for giardiasis. But despite their successful action against these parasites, Macmiror is less toxic to the body compared to albendazole. It contains two active substances - nystatin and nifuratel. The drug can be used in adults and children.

Release forms that are more convenient for the baby

The drug is available in the form:

1. Suspension for children, 100 mg/5 ml, volume 20 ml. The dosage of the product means that 5 milliliters of the medicine contains 100 mg of the active substance, therefore, a full bottle contains 400 mg of albendazole. The product is approved for use by children over 1 year of age. The average price of the suspension is 200 rubles.
2. Chewable tablets, 400 mg. Used for children over 2 years old. Average price - 200 rub.
3. Film-coated tablets, 400 mg. Approved for use in children over 6 years of age. Average price - 160 rubles.

Nemozol anti-worm tablets are taken with meals.

For children, the medicine is prescribed mainly in the form of a suspension: this is a convenient and safe form for babies who are already one year old.

Nemozol: reviews from parasitologists

If you doubt the effectiveness of the drug, then real reviews from experts will help you make the right choice.

• The infectious disease doctor – thanks to the wide spectrum of action of the drug, the treatment process allows you to get rid of infestations that were not detected during the tests. Detailed instructions for use allow you to achieve effective results. If you follow medical recommendations, side effects are minimized.
• Gastroenterologist - in my practice, ascariasis and enterobiasis are often diagnosed among young children. When treated with Nemozol, patients experience relief from discomfort. The form of the medicine in the form of a suspension simplifies the task of taking the medicine for younger children.
• Parasitologist – in the modern world, the number of sources of infection by infestations has increased significantly. For prevention, I recommend Nemozol to my patients. A timely diagnosis allows you to get rid of worms in just one session. In my practice, the drug has never failed.

Reviews from doctors
Parasitologist - Nemozol is a potent remedy, which makes it indispensable in difficult cases. I sometimes prescribe less toxic drugs for younger children.

Directions for use and dosage

All forms of Nemozol should be taken orally. The dosage depends on the age of the children and the diagnosis.

Features of taking the suspension

Nemozol in the form of a suspension is given to children during meals, because absorption of the active substance is enhanced when consumed simultaneously with fatty foods. The dosage and duration of therapy is determined by a specialist.

• To treat larva migrans syndrome, 1 Nemozol tablet is prescribed once a day for 1-3 days.

Instructions for use and dosage regimen

It is important to understand that taking Nemozol and the course of treatment depend on the specific disease caused by certain parasites. Therefore, let's look at the dosage regimen, as well as a number of features for taking the drug depending on the disease:

Therefore, let's look at the dosage regimen, as well as a number of features for taking the drug depending on the disease:

• The suspension and tablets must be taken with meals, preferably with fatty foods. In this case, the drug dissolves better in the gastrointestinal tract and has a greater effect.
• For diseases such as cestodosis and stongyloidosis, it is necessary to take 200 mg or 10 ml of the drug per day. Course duration – 3 days.
• If the drug is used to treat less serious parasite infections or treatment occurs at the initial stage, a single dose of the drug is required in the amount of 400 mg (1 tablet) or 20 ml (one bottle of suspension). If desired, you can split the intake into two halves throughout the day (in the morning and before bed).

Description and release form of the drug

Nemozol belongs to the group of anthelmintic drugs. The active substance is albendazole, in a dosage of 200 or 400 mg. Taking the drug is possible only after consultation with a specialist who will select the required dosage and duration of treatment.

There are 2 dosage forms of Nemozol:

• pills;
• suspension.

Suspension is a liquid form, white in color, which is most often prescribed to children over the age of 1 year.

This is due to the fact that when taking tablets it is important to maintain the integrity of the shell, which is extremely difficult when prescribing the drug to a small child. Most often prescribed for the treatment of children from pinworms

How does Nemozol work?

In children, it can be difficult to identify the type of helminth. Often the doctor chooses a broad-spectrum drug, where the indications for use are infection with different types of parasites.

Nemozol is effective in combating eggs, larvae and adult helminths. Nematodes, cestodes, trematodes and protozoa (giardia) are susceptible to albendazole. Reviews about the drug say that relief comes after the first use. The active substance of the drug is effective for diseases such as:

• alveolar and cystic echinococcosis (provoked by tissue parasites);
• granular echinococcosis (the drug destroys or significantly reduces the size of cysts);
• neurocysticercosis (caused by the pork tapeworm larva);
• ascariasis;
• strongyloidiasis;
• enterobiasis;
• trichinosis;
• clonorchiasis;
• toxocariasis;
• larva migrans syndrome;
• hookworm;
• opisthorchiasis.

Nemozol should be taken to treat any of these diseases in children or mixed helminthic infections.

The absorption of albendazole increases five times when combined with a fatty meal. About 70% of the absorbed substance is bound to plasma proteins. The active substance Nemozol is determined in children in urine, bile, bone tissue, cerebrospinal fluid and cystic fluid.

The drug is excreted mainly with bile, a small part - by the kidneys. Half-life is 8-12 hours. In children with acute diseases of the gallbladder and biliary tract, the half-life may be longer.

special instructions

According to the instructions for use of Nemozol, during long-term treatment it is recommended to monitor blood composition indicators (leukocyte level) and the activity of liver enzymes. If leukopenia (decreased white blood cell levels) develops, therapy should be suspended. If the upper limit of normal for liver enzyme activity increases by a factor of two or more, Nemozol should be discontinued until normal levels are restored. To prevent hypertension, glucocorticosteroids can be prescribed in the first week of treatment.

Pharmacological action and indications for use

How long does it take for Nemozol to work? Usually the medication begins to act 5-15 minutes after taking it. Everything will depend on the age of the patient and the severity of the disease. How quickly does Nemozol suspension work? The rate of onset of the therapeutic effect is similar.

The active components of the drug are well absorbed. Inactive metabolites of the drug are eliminated through the kidneys and intestines. Approximately 10% of metabolites are excreted in bile. The half-life of the drug is 8-15 hours.

What worms is Nemozol effective against? This medicine is active against trichinella, necator, hookworm, roundworm and giardia. The drug can also be used in the treatment of enterobiasis, strongyloidiasis, echinococcosis, opisthorchiasis, and neurocysticercosis. For clonorchiasis, mixed helminthic infestations and “larva migrans” syndrome, the product can also be used.

Another anthelmintic drug is used as part of complex therapy in the treatment of neoplasms that arise against the background of echinococcosis.

If the drug is used to treat toxocariasis, then 20-40 ml of suspension should be consumed daily. The duration of the course of treatment is 10 days. If the patient has been diagnosed with taeniasis or strongyloidiasis, then the daily dosage is reduced to 20 ml, and the duration of treatment to 3 days.

Contraindications to the use of the medication:

1. Individual intolerance to albendazole and its derivatives. You should not take the product if a person has hypersensitivity to the auxiliary components.
2. Visual impairment caused by damage to the retina.

It is worth noting that during the period of drug therapy it is forbidden to drink alcoholic beverages and other synthetic medications for worms. Otherwise, the patient may develop intoxication or liver failure. Even during drug therapy, you need to reduce the amount of unsaturated fats in your diet.

Nemozol often causes drowsiness and slow reaction. That is why during the treatment period it is highly recommended not to work with potentially dangerous mechanisms or drive a vehicle.

Side effects of the drug:

The nervous system may react with headaches, dizziness, confusion, and drowsiness. A person may also experience decreased visual acuity and muscle cramps.

Good anti-worm suspension

Rating: 5

I'm very worried about my daughter - there are so many germs around, you can't always make sure that the child doesn't put dirty fingers in his mouth. A friend told me about an anti-helminth suspension. I read the instructions for using Nemozol for prevention and looked at reviews on the Internet. I decided to use the medicine to protect my little daughter. It is better to take a preventive course than to expel worms. The suspension has a pleasant fruity taste and smell. The doctor at the children's clinic approved of my decision.

Advantages

Pleasant taste

Convenient liquid form, easy to give to baby

Well tolerated

How often can you take the drug

Nemozol, like many other anthelmintic drugs, should be taken only when necessary. That is, for the purpose of prevention, you should take tablets or suspension only when one of the family members is already sick

Nemozol is toxic, so it is important to seek help from a doctor before taking it. A parasitologist or infectious disease specialist will select the correct dosage of Nemozol or replace it with safer analogues

Neglecting medical help often leads to side effects. Thus, due to frequent use of the medicine, allergic reactions are possible, most often in the form of a skin rash accompanied by severe itching. Therefore, it is important to take the product once, no more than 2-3 times a year.

Side effects of the drug

Depending on the individual characteristics of the patient, the treatment process may be accompanied by side effects.

• The functioning of the food digestion system may cause diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, and heartburn.
• Changes in blood composition are possible. Decreased levels of leukocytes, platelets, white blood cells and other important indicators.
• In the functioning of the cardiovascular system, an increase in blood pressure is observed.
• The functioning of the nervous system may be accompanied by headaches, severe weakness, and other indicators.
• Excretion of the drug through the kidneys may affect the change in normal performance of the kidneys.
• Allergic reactions may occur in the form of rashes and itching.
• When the body is hypersensitive to the drug, swelling of the subcutaneous tissue occurs.

There may also be side effects.
Deviations may be temporary, superficial, or may worsen over time. In such cases, urgent consultation with a doctor is necessary.

If you use the drug in excess of the norm, you must immediately go to the hospital for gastric lavage. At home, be sure to drink activated carbon.

Albendazole for animals

In veterinary medicine, albendazole is effectively used in preventive and therapeutic agents. For this purpose, a medicine developed specifically for pets is used. For example, Agrovetzashchita produces albendazole under the brand name Alben. One tablet contains 360 mg of active substance, 1 g of granules - 200 mg. According to the instructions, the medicine is given to animals in the following dosage:

Overdose

Otherwise (if the dose is exceeded), patients may complain of:

• dizziness;
• feeling of nausea and vomiting;
• blurred vision;
• drowsiness;
• short-term loss of consciousness.

If the increased dose is continued, then the following pathological manifestations may be added:

• visual hallucinations;
• increase in liver size;

• deterioration in word pronunciation;
• icteric coloration of the skin and mucous membranes;
• darkening of urine and feces.

It is necessary to emphasize that there is no special antidote for Nemozol. Therefore, when signs of overdose appear, the patient undergoes gastric lavage and is subsequently prescribed enterosorbents. If necessary, therapeutic therapy is carried out aimed at eliminating the symptoms of overdose.

This is almost all the information on how to use Nemozol; we hope the article will be useful to you and will help you sort out your questions. But it should be noted that only a doctor should prescribe the drug and calculate the dose.

Nemozol for preventive purposes

To prevent the re-development of helminthic infestation or to completely protect yourself from it, you should follow certain doctor’s recommendations and use special medications for this. One of them is Nemozol. It is indicated for both adults and children, preferably from 3 years of age.

Chewable tablets are suitable for prevention

In addition to the treatment itself, Nemozol is widely used for prevention. For such purposes, chewable tablets are often used, which contain not only active ingredients, but also vitamins and minerals beneficial to the body.

To prevent the disease, anthelmintic drugs are usually used 2 times throughout the year - in autumn and spring. The dosage in this case differs markedly from the treatment. In tablet form for prevention, the drug is prescribed in an amount of 10-12 mg per 1 kg of weight. If it is a suspension, then about 200 ml - depending on the age of the patient.

In addition to taking Nemozol, you need to observe hygiene standards, eat right and process food at a sufficient temperature, and teach children hygiene from an early age.

Drug interactions

Drugs that reduce the concentration of Albendazole in the intestine and its effectiveness:

• Phenytoin;
• Phenobarbital;
• Ginseng extract.

Drugs that increase the concentration of Nemozol in the blood:

• Cimetidine;
• Praziquantel;
• Dexamethasone.

For some extraintestinal helminthic infestations, this feature is used - Praziquantel and Nemozol are prescribed simultaneously, and two antihelminthic drugs with different mechanisms of action appear in the blood in high concentrations. Taken together with theophylline increases the toxic effect and the risk of arrhythmia.

Nemozol and alcohol

The drug should not be used together with alcohol. During treatment, you should completely abstain from alcoholic beverages, it is advisable to do this 2-3 days before the start of treatment. After completing the course of treatment, you can drink alcohol again in 1-2 weeks. If a second course of treatment is possible, you should abstain from alcohol for a longer period.

Impact on the ability to drive vehicles

The drug causes dizziness and headaches. This can dull reactions and reduce the effectiveness of mental and physical work. Operating machines, complex mechanisms and hazardous work should be avoided until the end of treatment.

Dosage regimen

Only a doctor should prescribe Nemozol. This is due to the fact that each disease has its own subtleties of its use that should be taken into account. In addition, we should not forget about the individual characteristics of the patient’s body, which cannot be provided for in the instructions for the drug.

Nemozol is always taken after meals or during meals. The medicine is not dissolved in anything, special preparation is not required, a diet is not prescribed before taking it, but it is advisable to eat more easily digestible foods. The dose is calculated based on the patient's body weight.

The tablets are taken with meals, washed down with warm water, the powder in the required amount is dissolved in warm water, the chewable tablets are chewed in the required amount.

The use of Nemozol is permissible strictly in the dosage prescribed by the doctor; dividing the dose into several doses is permissible only if recommended by a specialist.

Application:

• For roundworms and whipworm, Nemozol is used once or divided into two doses. Dosage for adults and children weighing more than 60 kg – 400 mg, less – 15 mg/kg body weight. It is possible to repeat the course of treatment.
• Against pinworms and pinworms, take 400 mg once. The drug is not prescribed to children under 3 years of age.
• Rechinosis is treated for 10-14 days. At this time, take the medicine 400 mg twice a day. For toxocariasis, Nemozol is used similarly in people weighing more than 60 kg. In children under 14 years of age and in adults weighing less than 60 kg, 200 mg is prescribed twice daily. Repeated courses of treatment are required 2 weeks after using the drug.
• Giardiasis is treated by taking 400 mg (for children weighing less than 10 kg - 200 mg) Nemozol for 3 days.
• Cysticercosis and echinococcosis are treated in adults with the same dosages as trichinosis. In children under 14 years of age and in adults weighing less than 60 kg, the dose is calculated based on the ratio of 15 mg/kg. The course of application is up to a month.

Use during pregnancy and lactation

Nemozol is not recommended for pregnant and nursing mothers. No studies have been conducted to confirm or refute its safety.

1. If there is a need to treat helminthic infestation in the mother , it is necessary to monitor a number of laboratory parameters in the child to make sure that he has not been harmed.
2. If it is necessary to use Nemozol during lactation, breastfeeding should be interrupted for a while. Milk must be expressed during this period.
3. If a woman intends to continue breastfeeding after a course of treatment , she needs to get tested to make sure that her milk is safe for the baby.

Use in children

The product is approved for use in children over 3 years of age. Before this age, other drugs should be preferred.

1. The dosage for children from 3 to 14 years is calculated using a separate algorithm, which takes into account the body weight and age of the child.
2. Teenagers over 14 years of age take Nemozol according to the same rules as adults.

Use for liver dysfunction

The drug causes disturbances in liver activity - laboratory parameters change, and drug-induced hepatitis occurs. If the patient already suffers from liver pathologies, then the use of albendazole requires caution.

It is mandatory to monitor laboratory parameters and discontinue the drug if the patient’s condition worsens.

Elena Malysheva about parasites in the human body

“I have been appearing on your TV screens for many years and we have repeatedly touched upon the problem of various diseases of our body. They often talked about serious and not so serious illnesses, as well as about various methods of cure. Today we will talk about secretive but very terrible pests with which we have lived for years, without even knowing where all our ailments and diseases come from - these are Parasites .”

Reviews of Nemozole

“Nemozol is considered a broad-spectrum medicine; it effectively destroys adult parasites, as well as their larvae. The great advantage of this medicinal drug is that it has a minimum of side effects. For a quick recovery and improved well-being, it is recommended to consult a doctor, as well as follow the instructions.”

“Nemozol is a common antiparasitic drug that helps effectively get rid of many intestinal helminths (worms) in both adults and children.

This drug has contraindications that must be taken into account during treatment. These are individual intolerance, pregnancy and lactation, diseases of the hematopoietic system and liver. I recommend taking the drug in liquid form (suspension) to young children.”

“My eldest son undergoes a commission at school every year, which includes passing all tests.

Nothing was found in the child's stool, but parasites were found in the child's blood.

Of course, the youngest child also had to be tested, since they are in close contact, and signs of parasites were also found in his blood.

At an appointment at the clinic, the doctor prescribed treatment with the drug Nemozol, for the eldest son in tablets, and for the younger son in suspension.

The treatment was successful, I did not see any side effects, but I repeated the drug for my youngest child after 10 days.

We took tests a month later, and nothing was found in my children’s blood and stool tests.”

Alena_Kk

“I was worried about the side effects of the drug when it was prescribed to us. Still, there are a lot of side effects described. But there is not much choice if the child is 4 years old and has worms. Nevertheless, everything worked out, the drug helped, our little one was a little capricious during this period, but we got rid of pinworms.”

“If you have pets, then using antihelminthic drugs is simply necessary: ​​no matter how many times you wash your hands or wash your clothes, the risk of catching worms from your pets is quite high. My wife and I give our children Dekaris or Nemozol for parasites.”

Parasitologist Andrey Vasilievich Timinsky

“The drug Nemozol has successfully passed all clinical trials and has proven its effectiveness in a series of laboratory tests. The spectrum of its action extends to numerous parasitic infestations and types of worms, including many names, including giardiasis, ascariasis, echinococcus, toxacorosis and many other types of helminthic diseases.

Reviews from doctors about the drug Nemozol allow us to conclude that this medicine for worms is one of the best today. The drug disrupts the flow of biochemical processes in the body of parasites, causes destruction of their cell membranes and, as a result, leads to the death of helminths.

The effect of the drug applies to tapeworm larvae (armed, canine), Giardia, whipworm, pinworms, opisthorchia, roundworm, necator americanus, intestinal eels, microsporidia, toxocara. Nemozol is also effective for polyhelminthiasis.

The manufacturer produces it in the form of tablets and suspensions: tablets are the optimal dosage form for adults, a suspension is prescribed for children over 12 months of age.

Most people leave good reviews about Nemozole on forums. Since helminthic infestations most often occur in childhood, these are mainly reviews of Nemozol for children. Almost all mothers note the speed of the drug and its effectiveness, however, they emphasize that some patients may experience side effects.

Wormil or Nemozol

It is quite difficult to give an unambiguous answer to this question. The point is that their operating principle is similar. Moreover, if most anthelmintic drugs are similar in pharmacological properties, then Vormil and Nemozol have a common active ingredient - albendazole. Therefore, they are also structural analogues and are generally identical.

Important! Replacing the drug with its analogue should be entrusted to a specialist.

Today, Nemozol is one of the most effective drugs that is used to treat not only adults, but also children. But, despite its advantages, you should still be careful in its use, since the drug has many contraindications. Before giving it to your child, carefully read the instructions for use, taking into account the baby’s body weight and the presence of diseases.

Regular hand washing after going outside and contacting animals will help avoid infection with worms. As well as thorough heat treatment of vegetables and fruits from the soil.

During pregnancy

Albendazole should not be taken during pregnancy or lactation. To reduce the risk of accidental use of the drug in early pregnancy, women of reproductive age should begin therapy in the first week after the onset of menstruation (before ovulation), or better yet, after a negative pregnancy test. During treatment, it is necessary to use effective contraception, as well as for a month after taking the last pill.

General information, release form

The trade name of the anthelmintic, antiparasitic drug is Nemozol, the international name is Albendazole or Albendazole. Manufactured by Ipka, India. Available in the form of a regular, chewable tablet or suspension. They differ from each other in the composition of auxiliary components and the dosage of the active substance.

On a note!

The suspension is prescribed to children; it is allowed to be used by adults, provided the correct dose is calculated. The tablets are recommended for adults and children who have individual intolerance to additional substances in the suspension.

Nemozol tablets are produced in two types: for swallowing and chewing. The amount of active substance is 200 ml or 400 mg. The package contains from 1 to 6 tablets. Packed in foil blisters and sold with instructions. The tablets have cross-shaped notches for easy division into doses. It is recommended for adults and children to take Nemozol for the treatment of helminthic infestations, giardiasis, and prevention of infection at high risk of infection.

Compatibility of Nemozol and alcohol

The drug is absolutely incompatible with alcoholic beverages. When alcohol enters the body, ethanol enhances the hepatotoxic effect. Therefore, alcoholic drinks are strictly contraindicated during treatment with Nemozol.

Important! There are drugs that even with a small dose of alcohol provoke side effects.

Medicinal properties of Nemozol

Nemazol is considered an effective drug that belongs to the group of antihelminthics. It has the necessary effect on parasites, helps suppress their further reproduction and destroys worms.

The active substance of the drug affects not only helminth eggs, but also adults. In addition, it suppresses the absorption of glucose by parasites, destroys their membrane and interferes with normal metabolism. Due to its high bactericidal and antiparasitic properties, this drug promotes rapid recovery.

For convenience, Nemozol is used in various forms: suspension, regular and chewable tablets. It is prescribed for everyone - both children and adults; only the dosage and frequency of use differ.

The pharmacological effect occurs quickly, which is explained by the drug entering the gastrointestinal tract, where the active component is intensively absorbed. Therefore, there is a rapid liberation of the body from helminthic infestation and restoration of its functions.

Preventative treatment

To prevent the body from parasites, Nemozol is recommended to be used in chewable tablets, in addition to the active substance, it contains a lot of useful microelements, as well as a group of vitamins.

It is recommended for preventive purposes against infection of adults and children with parasites, to use chewable tablets in mid-autumn, as well as in early spring.

For the purpose of effective prevention, two antiparasitic substances are used - nemozol and decaris.

At the beginning, drink one tablet of Decaris. And after three days, therapy with the participation of Nemozol begins.

The ideal prevention of parasite infection is very simple - it is compliance with basic hygiene standards.

Be sure to wash your hands frequently, thoroughly rinse vegetables and fruits, and under no circumstances drink water from the tap or reservoirs.

Avoid contact with street animals, relax on clean beaches and swim only in proven bodies of water.

Nemozol is a very effective remedy for the treatment and prevention of numerous types of helminths (worms).

Inpatient treatment is carried out for advanced disease when long-term therapy is required. Prescriptions are made by a doctor, since the product is considered toxic.

Now let’s look at the pressing issue of the compatibility of Nemozol and alcohol. The problem is considered quite important and requires special attention, because Nemozol and alcohol cannot be taken at the same time. If this condition is not met, the patient may experience a deterioration in health, which will be manifested by the following symptoms:

• a feeling of bitterness in the mouth;
• pain in the area of ​​the right hypochondrium, which will be cutting in nature;
• change in skin color - the skin will turn yellow;
• vomiting, in which the masses will contain bile.

The listed pathological symptoms will indicate that the interaction of the drug and alcohol has led to severe intoxication and the development of liver failure. Such a person needs to be provided with medical assistance as quickly as possible, the stomach should be rinsed, a cleansing enema should be given, or saline and laxatives should be given to drink. Before taking Nemozol, adults should remember this nuance.

Nemozol can also be used to prevent helminthic infestations. In case of parasitic infection of any family member, all household members need to take a course of medication to exclude the possibility of infection.

Nemozol effectively fights not only adults, but also actively destroys parasitic eggs and oncospheres. The selection of the dosage and treatment course should be carried out exclusively by a doctor based on laboratory tests that make it possible to diagnose which helminth has affected the body.

Self-medication can bring harm rather than benefit to the body, since this medication has a toxic effect. Therefore, it is necessary to use Nemozol for children with extreme caution, constantly monitoring the baby’s well-being. The main motto, which must be observed throughout the entire period of treatment, should be: “We kill parasites in the body under the supervision of a doctor.”

What worms does it help with?

This is a broad-spectrum drug. It is effective against various types of pathogens. The medicine is indicated for use in nematodiasis, strongyloidiasis, neurocysticercosis, giardiasis, toxocariasis. An anthelmintic agent fights echinococcosis of the liver, peritoneum and lungs. In addition, it is used to treat helminthic infestations. Nemozol is also used in surgery for echinococcal cysts.

The period of elimination from the body and the effect of Nemozol against worms

One of the effective drugs against helminths is Nemozol. Nemozol for worms is available in the form of suspensions and tablets. The advantage of this medication is the fact that it can be taken by both adults and children, while following a certain course of treatment and dosage.

Mechanism of action

How does Nemozol work against parasites? The medication has the following effect on helminths that infect the human body:

• blocking all biochemical processes occurring in parasitic bodies, helminth eggs, oncospheres;
• provoking rapid destruction of the parasitic cell membrane;
• death of worms under the influence of albendazole.

When Nemozol is taken internally, albendazole, entering the liver cells, is transformed into albendazole sulfite, which has an active anthelmintic effect. Nemozol is characterized by poor absorption in the intestinal region and is almost not diagnosed in blood plasma.

Indications for use

The drug is characterized by increased effectiveness in the fight against various parasitic pathologies. It is usually prescribed for the following invasions:

• for children, the drug can be prescribed for mixed infestations;
• toxocariasis;
• ascariasis;
• giardiasis;
• hookworm disease;

• microsporidiosis;
• neurocysticercosis;
• enterobiasis;
• strongyloidiasis;
• opisthorchiasis;
• necatoriasis;
• trichocephalosis.

If you study the reviews of doctors, you can conclude that Nemozol is prescribed for surgical removal of echinococcal cysts. In this case, the medication is prescribed as an additional medication to prevent the development of relapses. Nemozol in tablet form can be prescribed for echinococcal lesions of internal organs.

Treatment for adults

For the treatment of adults, the drug can be used in the form of tablets or suspension. The tablets must be taken whole. This is due to the fact that if the integrity of the surface of the tablet is damaged, it begins to act even before it enters the intestinal area.

The optimal dosage is calculated based on the type of helminths that infect the human body:

1. In the presence of enterobiasis, trichinosis, ascariasis, necatoriasis, hookworm infection, a single dose of 1 tablet is recommended.
2. Nemozol for toxocariasis is recommended to take 1 tablet per day. Treatment of toxocariasis with Nemozol lasts on average 7–10 days.
3. If there are pork or bovine tapeworms in the body that cause taeniasis, Nemozol is prescribed 1 tablet for 3 days. Under the influence of Nemozol, the tapeworm is not able to maintain vital functions, as a result of which it becomes detached from the intestinal walls. 1-3 days after the first dose, the tapeworm dies and begins to leave the body. The same treatment regimen is prescribed for strongyloidiasis.
4. For mixed infestations, the drug should be taken 1 tablet 2 times a day - morning and evening. The treatment course lasts 3–5 days.

For neurocysticercosis and echinococcosis, it is necessary to calculate the optimal dosage. If the patient weighs more than 60 kilograms, the medicine is taken twice a day at a dosage of 400 milligrams at each dose. For a weight not exceeding 60 kilograms, the product is recommended in a dosage of 15 milligrams per 1 kilogram of body weight. The maximum daily dose of the drug is calculated in a similar way. For echinococcosis, 3 courses lasting 4 weeks are required. Between courses it is necessary to maintain a break of 2 weeks.

Treatment of opisthorchiasis

Nemozol for opisthorchiasis is prescribed as part of complex therapy together with antihistamines and hepatoprotectors.

Some doctors do not recommend using Nemozol for opisthorchiasis, since its effect is characterized by toxicity. This drug is used only when internal organs are affected by opisthorchiasis.

To increase the effectiveness of treatment, Nemozol is prescribed in combination with Dekaris. Taking Decaris helps immobilize the worms and improves the absorption of albendazole. Decaris is taken once in the dosage prescribed by the physician. After 3 days, Nemozol is drunk at a dosage of 400 milligrams. How do worms come out after Nemozol? Parasites immobilized by Dekaris actively leave the human body under the influence of Nemozol along with feces.

Treatment of children

Nemozol for parasites in children is prescribed orally before a meal or 30 minutes after it. When treating helminthic infestations with Nemozol, you do not need to take additional laxatives or follow a diet. To avoid relapses, it is necessary to re-take the drug by all family members.

How much medication should be given to a child to treat helminths? The dosage of the drug is selected only by the attending physician - an infectious disease specialist or pediatrician. Typically, the course of treatment and dose depend on the type of parasite in the child’s body and the general condition of the baby.

This medicine for worms is prescribed to children in a dosage of: per 1 kilogram of body 15 milligrams of medicine per day. For this purpose, the drug is most often used in the form of a suspension. The treatment course is usually 7 days for severe lesions. For mild infestations, a single dose of a suspension of 20 milliliters is recommended.

Treatment with Nemozol for children under 2 years of age takes into account the following features:

• only an anti-worm suspension should be used for treatment;
• for cestodosis and strongyloidiasis, the drug is taken at a dose of 200 milligrams (10 milliliters) for 3 days. After a week, the treatment is repeated;
• for enterobiasis and ascariasis, a single dose of 1 tablet is necessary.

The instructions for the medication suggest the use of tablets for a child over 3 years of age in the case of treatment of giardiasis. In this case, the drug should be taken 10–15 milligrams per 1 kilogram of the baby’s weight daily for 7 days. Nemozol is contraindicated for newly born children.

Vdguki lkarv

A. V. Zinchenko, ENT. Nemozol is an excellent anthelmintic drug for adults and children. A single dose of the medicine gives a good therapeutic effect. I consider the low price to be an advantage. The disadvantages include the fact that the drug must be taken for a full recovery. After taking Nemozol, it can cause itching and irritation in the perineum. Laboratory tests must be taken before and at the end of treatment.

V. I. Plyats, infectious disease specialist. I consider Nemozol an effective drug for worms. The drug is presented in the form of tablets and suspensions, which is convenient when administered to children. Nemozol is prescribed to people with helminthic infestations. Well tolerated by children and elderly patients.

D. V. Tatarnikov, pediatrician. A good anthelmintic. I use it to treat toxocariasis. The effect occurs after 2 weeks. Easily tolerated by patients. With long-term use, the price may seem high to patients.

K. V. Kartoyatskaya, gastroenterologist. Nemozol is one of the modern anthelmintic drugs with minimal side effects. Approved for use by children and adults. The course of radiation can last 7-14 days. If you buy for the whole family, it will be expensive.

P. A. Alexandrov, infectious disease specialist. A highly effective antiparasitic agent that helps cope with many types of helminths and protozoa. In rare cases, it causes side effects, is convenient to use and does not require frequent use. I recommend taking Nemozol only after examination and as prescribed by a doctor.

Indications for use

The drug has found wide use in the treatment of various forms of helminthic infestations. It can be used as independent therapy or for preventive purposes to enhance the result. The main parasites against which Nemozol is prescribed are:

• Giardia;
• toxocara;
• roundworms;
• opisthorchiasis.

And some other types of worms can also be treated with this medicine. Nemozol for roundworms is used necessarily, because the active substance of the drug has a detrimental effect on the vital activity of the parasite, destroying its structure. It can destroy not only sexually mature helminths, but also their eggs.

Adverse effects of the drug

Side effects in adults are not as severe as in children. If the drug is taken to treat helminthic infestation against a background of poor general health, the effect of albendazole is not felt, and after 3 days a noticeable improvement occurs. Side effects can be noticed if the dose is exceeded, contraindications are ignored, the presence of individual intolerance, or problems with the digestive tract.

• diarrhea;
• vomit;
• dizziness;
• bitterness in the mouth;
• nausea;
• weakness;
• drowsiness;

Reviews of parasitologists for nemozol

Medicinal herbs have already faded into the background in the fight against invasion. Today, people prefer to quickly deal with infections by taking just one or two tablets. For example, if you drink decoctions of pinworms, you can breed them indefinitely, because while some begin to die, others will reach puberty and begin to produce offspring.

Therefore, in pharmacies we are given a huge selection of anthelmintic medications. One of them includes Nemozol, how to use it for adults and children, as well as reviews from parasitologists, we will study in this article.

How to use Nemozol?

Nemozol is a broad-spectrum antiparasitic drug that affects a wide range of helminths. The main active ingredient, thanks to which the therapeutic result is achieved, is albendazole.

After its consumption, albendazole sulfide is formed in the liver. Thanks to the formation of such a compound, not only adult individuals are destroyed, but also larvae and their eggs, as evidenced by reviews of parasitologists. The drug has a structural analogue of Gelmodol; in addition, the composition includes a larger number of additives that soften the effect of the drug, making it more gentle on the stomach and liver. Therefore, Gelmodol is more often prescribed to people with diseases of the digestive system and young children.

Prescribed for the following diseases:

• nematodosis;
• ascariasis;
• giardiasis;
• strongyloidiasis;
• enterobiasis;
• toxocariasis.

In addition to the fact that the remedy quickly eliminates pinworms and roundworms, it is prescribed as an additional treatment for echinococcosis to stop the growth of cysts. Helps cope with neurocystercosis, whipworms, opisthorchiasis, necatoriasis, and remove intestinal eel.
