One commonly used class of drugs is antiparasitic medications. Some examples include:</span></p><p style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); margin: 0pt 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; background: transparent;"><strong style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">Anthelmintics</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">: These medications target parasitic worms (helminths) such as roundworms, tapeworms, and flukes. Albendazole and mebendazole are commonly prescribed anthelmintics.</span></p><p style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); margin: 0pt 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; background: transparent;"><strong style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">Antiprotozoal drugs</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">: These medications target protozoa, which are single-celled parasites. Examples include metronidazole, which is used to treat infections like giardiasis and trichomoniasis, and chloroquine, used against malaria.&nbsp;You can take<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.dosepharmacy.com/iverheal-6mg-tablet-ivermectin">Ivermectin 6 mg Tablet</a><span>&nbsp;</span>to treat parasitic infections.</span></p><p style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); margin: 0pt 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; background: transparent;"><strong style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">Antimalarial drugs</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">: These specifically target the malaria parasite. Examples include artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) like artemether-lumefantrine, chloroquine (for regions with sensitive malaria strains), and quinine-based treatments.</span></p><p style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); margin: 0pt 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; background: transparent;"><strong style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">Antiprotozoal antibiotics</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">: Drugs like doxycycline and atovaquone-proguanil are used against parasites like Plasmodium (malaria) and Toxoplasma.</span></p><p style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); margin: 0pt 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; background: transparent;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">The choice of medication depends on the type of parasite and the severity of the infection, so it's crucial to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and<br>treatment.</span></p><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><!--EndFragment-->
