    Praziquantel is a highly effective anthelmintic medication, but it does not treat all types of worms. It is particularly useful for treating parasitic infections caused by flukes (trematodes) and tapeworms (cestodes). Praziquantel is most commonly prescribed for conditions such as schistosomiasis, liver fluke infections, and tapeworm infections in both humans and animals.

    However, Praziquantel is not effective against all types of worms. For example, it does not work against nematodes (roundworms), such as pinworms, hookworms, or whipworms. These types of parasitic infections require other medications, such as albendazole or mebendazole, which target the different classes of worms.

    The drug works by causing severe muscle spasms in the parasites, leading to their paralysis and eventual death. This makes it particularly suitable for parasites that attach to internal tissues, such as flukes and tapeworms, which are then expelled from the body. Buy Praziquantel Online at Medzsupplier.

    In summary, while Praziquantel is highly effective for treating certain parasitic infections, it does not target all types of worms. Its use should be based on the specific type of infection, as other anthelmintics are needed for nematode infections.
