What is Praziquantel Tablet Used For?
Praziquantel tablet is a powerful antiparasitic medication widely used to treat infections caused by parasitic flatworms, particularly schistosomes and tapeworms. It is one of the most effective drugs for treating schistosomiasis, a disease common in tropical and subtropical regions caused by Schistosoma species. By targeting the parasite’s muscle cells, Praziquantel causes severe spasms and paralysis, leading to dislodgement from tissues and death of the worm.

Another major use of Praziquantel is in the treatment of taeniasis, caused by adult tapeworms such as Taenia saginata and Taenia solium. It also treats diphyllobothriasis, caused by fish tapeworms. The medication is also used for clonorchiasis and opisthorchiasis, liver fluke infections resulting from eating raw or undercooked freshwater fish.

In veterinary medicine, Praziquantel is used to treat tapeworm infections in dogs and cats, making it a broad-spectrum dewormer for both humans and animals.

The drug is typically taken as a single-day treatment, though the dosage and duration may vary depending on the type of parasite and severity of infection. Praziquantel is generally well-tolerated, with mild side effects such as dizziness, abdominal discomfort, or headache. Medzsupplier is top Praziquantel Wholesale Supplier and exporter.
