Patient reviews

McMiror simply saved my women's health! Once I got caught in heavy, cold rain, I was very cold and my stomach started to hurt, and the pain was strong and terribly unpleasant! At first I thought that it was because my period would soon begin; sometimes my lower abdomen hurts a lot, but that was not the case. The pain did not go away and I could not understand what was wrong and decided to consult a specialist, my gynecologist. The doctor conducted an examination and it turned out that I had a cold in the female genital organs, but the gynecologist said that there was nothing wrong with it, the main thing is to start treatment on time and prescribed me Macmiror in the form of vaginal suppositories. I can say that the drug helped me and quite well, I’m happy and so is my gynecologist!

Marina Yaresko

With the help of the drug Macmirora, my mother managed to cure thrush, which she could not cure for 5 years! And this is thanks not only to the effective medicine, but also to the experienced gynecologist who prescribed this medicine. The result exceeded all expectations and was excellent! Mom tried to be treated with some inexpensive analogues of the medicine, but only Macmiror really helped.

Tatiana Yavnaya

Anything can provoke various gynecological diseases, since women's health is truly a very fragile mechanism.
I generally never sit in the cold, but when it was very hot outside I decided to sit on a concrete step and it would be better if I didn’t do this, since I had a cold. As soon as I got home, my temperature rose and my lower abdomen began to hurt a little. The next day I decided to see a doctor and he prescribed me Macmiror vaginal suppositories. They helped me a lot and after a couple of days I began to feel much better! Lika Korelova

What are the best drugs for treating pinworms?

Pinworms are parasitic worms that settle in the human body and carry out their vital functions in the intestines, liver and other organs of the gastrointestinal tract. The disease caused by these parasites is called enterobiasis.

Treatment of the disease is carried out with pharmaceutical pharmaceutical products (this can be a solution - suspension, tablets or suppositories), which have a detrimental effect on pinworms and roundworms. Which tablets for pinworms are best used in the treatment of enterobiasis in adults and children will be discussed below.

Specifics of drugs

The selection of drugs for pinworms and roundworms should only be carried out by a specialist - this can be a doctor - a parasitologist or an infectious disease specialist (if a child is ill with enterobiasis - a pediatrician). Medicine for pinworms and roundworms is selected based on two main criteria:

There are several forms of drugs for pinworms and roundworms - for example, in the pharmacy you can find antiparasitic tablets or solutions (suspensions). Experts in most cases recommend the use of tablet forms of drugs - they are much more convenient to take, and, in addition, such drugs have a standard dosage (one tablet contains from 0.1 to 0.25 g of active substance).

To achieve the optimal clinical effect of the corresponding medications for pinworms and roundworms, you should take 3-4 grams of the drug per day. A more precise dosage of drugs against enterobiasis in humans is selected individually.

In the pharmacy you can also find antiparasitic suspensions for children and adults - they are available in a dosage of 5 ml per ampoule.

Treatment of enterobiasis in humans using certain medications for pinworms lasts two days, and therapy should apply not only to the person who has symptoms of the disease, but also to all members of his family.

Mechanism of action of drugs

How do tablets and suspensions work against roundworms and pinworms? Such drugs for adults and children provoke neuromuscular blockade in the corresponding parasites. After this, the helminths are eliminated from the human body naturally - that is, they come out along with the feces.

It is important that drugs against roundworms and pinworms have a detrimental effect on both adult individuals and their larvae, as well as eggs. The positive effect of antiparasitic tablets and suspensions is achieved due to the fact that the active ingredients of the drug block the process of turbulin polymerization in helminth cells - as a result, a metabolic failure occurs in the body of the worms, and the parasites die.

Side effects and contraindications

The instructions for each drug that has an antiparasitic effect clearly indicate the possible side effects that it can cause, and also lists the cases in which taking these tablets (suspension) is not recommended.

However, there are general precautions that should be taken by patients who have been diagnosed with enterobiasis:

• It is not recommended to use antiparasitic drugs for people with disorders of the central nervous system;
• a serious contraindication for taking such medications is chronic renal failure;
• “most drugs are prohibited for pregnant women and nursing mothers”;
• Patients (especially children) should be extremely careful with active ingredients that contain certain medications - some of them can cause an allergic reaction.

Tablets, suspensions and suppositories against roundworms and pinworms can cause the following side effects:

• pain in the abdominal area;
• attacks of nausea;
• vomit;
• recurrent headache;
• muscle weakness, cramps;
• tremor;
• visual impairment;
• some patients may experience psycho-emotional disorders - for example, an unsupported feeling of euphoria.

You must not deviate from the dosage of the drug indicated in the instructions for it or indicated by the doctor. Exceeding the dose of drugs can result in negative consequences for the patient’s health - severe cramps appear in the abdominal cavity, vomiting, diarrhea occurs, and the patient may feel sick.

In case of overdose, the patient is advised to thoroughly rinse the stomach or drink a sorbent (for example, activated carbon).

It should be noted that treatment of enterobiasis in adults and children is carried out using various antiparasitic drugs. Read on to find out which of them are better to choose to fight against illness in a child, and which are more suitable for an adult.

Medicines for children

Enterobiasis is much more common in children than in adults. This fact is associated with insufficient development of immune function in the baby’s fragile body. Treatment of parasitic diseases in children is most often carried out using the following medications:

• Zentel is an anthelmintic drug belonging to the carbonate group. It is used to combat intestinal parasites. This remedy copes especially well with skin manifestations of helminth infections. This medicine is effective against roundworms, pinworms, and fights against bovine tapeworm. Dosage of the drug for children:

0.2 grams/day. The duration of the course is two days, take the drug before meals.

• Piperazine is an effective remedy against roundworms and pinworms. Children are given 1.5-2 grams of the drug per day. A two-day anthelmintic course is expected.
• Pyrantel is an effective tablet used to treat enterobiasis in children. Children under two years of age are given 125 mg of the drug; children over six years old - 250 mg; children over 12 years old - 750 mg of the drug per day. Three weeks later, the therapeutic course against roundworms and pinworms is repeated.
• Mebendazole is an effective broad-spectrum drug that is well suited for the fight against helminthiasis in children. Dosage: 100 mg of the drug is taken once.
• Levamisole is another drug used to treat enterobiasis in a child. The dosage of the drug is as follows: 25-50 mg of the drug is given once to children under six years of age, for those older - from 50 to 125 mg of the drug. The therapeutic course is repeated after 21 days.

Medicines for adults

By and large, treatment of enterobiasis in adults is carried out with the same medications as in children. The main difference is only in the dosage of medications. For adults, we recommend the following pharmaceutical tablets:

• Vermox is an effective drug against intestinal parasites, including roundworms and pinworms. Treatment of enterobiasis in adults with the help of this drug is carried out as follows: drink 1 tablet of Vermox once, the procedure is repeated after a few weeks.
• Metovit is an effective broad-spectrum antiparasitic agent. Neem is also used to treat enterobiasis in adults. This drug not only kills helminths and promotes their removal from the body, but also copes with the consequences that the parasitic activity of worms leads to. The dosage of the medicine is as follows: adults take one capsule of Metovit twice a day.
• Decaris is an effective drug against roundworms and pinworms. Directions for use: 0.15 g of the drug is drunk once before bedtime.
• Helmintox is a pharmaceutical medicine used to treat enterobiasis in adults. Available in the form of a suspension. Dosage: six tablespoons of the drug per day.
• Nemozol is a broad-spectrum antiparasitic agent. For effective treatment of enterobiasis in adults, experts recommend taking 20 ml of the suspension once. All family members of the infected person must undergo a therapeutic course using this drug.

Additional measures

In order for medications against pinworms or roundworms to work better, it is recommended to avoid eating foods that harden the stool. In the evening, before bed, on the day of using the drug, you should drink any laxative.

The key to successful treatment of enterobiasis is a repeated drug therapeutic course, which is carried out two weeks after the first - this is necessary so that not only adult helminths are destroyed, but also their larvae, as well as eggs laid by worms.

To combat itching in the anal area, which is often caused by pinworms, antihistamines are used - for example, Loratadine, Cetrin, Zodak. For this purpose, you can also use an enema with the addition of soda - to prepare it, pour two teaspoons of the product into a liter of water.

So, treatment of enterobiasis in adults and children is carried out with pharmaceutical anthelmintic drugs, which are available in the form of suspensions, tablets and suppositories. The dosage of these medications is selected individually for each patient, depending on age, body weight and stage of development of the disease.
