Pyrantel is a medication commonly used to treat infections caused by certain types of worms, such as roundworms and hookworms. It works by paralyzing the worms, allowing the body to eliminate them through natural processes. Pyrantel is often available in tablet or liquid form and can be taken by both adults and children. This medication is typically prescribed for intestinal worm infections and is considered safe for most people. However, it is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by a healthcare professional to ensure effectiveness and minimize potential side effects. Always consult a doctor before starting treatment with Pyrantel.
