Niclosamide

Niclosamide is an oral antiparasitic medication used to treat infections caused by certain parasitic worms, such as tapeworms. It works by disrupting the parasite’s ability to obtain energy, ultimately killing the worm and relieving symptoms associated with the infection. Niclosamide is typically prescribed as a single dose, which should be taken with a full glass of water on an empty stomach. It is important to follow the healthcare provider’s instructions for taking this medication and to complete the full course of treatment to ensure the parasite is fully eliminated from the body.
