What is niclosamide 500mg used for? - broslimson - 10-16-2024
Niclosamide 500 mg from dosepharmacy is an antiparasitic medication primarily used to treat tapeworm infections. It works by killing or inhibiting the growth of tapeworms in the intestines, helping the body expel the parasite. Some specific uses of Niclosamide include:
- Treatment of adult tapeworm infections such as Taenia solium (pork tapeworm), Taenia saginata (beef tapeworm), and Diphyllobothrium latum (fish tapeworm).
- Hydatid disease management in some cases.
- Potential antiviral and anticancer uses, though these applications are still under research.
