What are anthelmintics?

Anthelmintics are chemical compounds that can be used to exclude parasitic worms from the body. Parasitic worms, known as helminths, can be found around the world and in a wide range of animal species, with some jumping between species, while others are limited to infecting a single species. Animals with parasitic worms in their bodies can experience a number of symptoms related to the parasite, including the discomfort of the intestine, weight loss, flatulence of the abdomen and symptoms of malnutrition, such as hair loss.

These drugs can work in one of two ways. Vermicides kill helminths while vermifugees are stunning to disorient, and in both cases the worms can be expressed from the body as soon as the drugs are served because the worms are no longer able to function as they do normally. There is a wide range of Anthelmintics on the market that cover different types of worms. In addition to pharmaceutical drugs, there are also natural compounds that can sometimes be used in the treatment of worms.

Animals on the pasture tend to infect and revive the worms and can be administered dewormers as a prophylactic treatment before their actively infection. Similarly, pets can be susceptible to the development of worms because they receive them from fleas during care during care or prey. Domestic owners are usually recommended to use fleas control to eliminate fleas problems, including worms, and Anthelmintics can be administered if domestic animals experience parasitism. Domestic animals should be aware that drugs used for flea control in dogs often contain cats dangerous to cats and it is important to ensure that the drug is appropriate to the type before serving.

Dosage of these drugs is very important. Many anthelmintics can be dangerous when taking doses that are too high, and drugs are not suitable for all organisms just because they work in some.For example, drugs used on people are not necessarily safe for dogs. Usually it is also necessary to perform a test to determine which type of worm is connected to prescribe suitable medicines.

There are concerns in the agricultural community that the routine use of Anthelmintics could contribute to the development of worms resistant worms. After deworming, some worms or eggs usually remain. In repeated treatment, this may inadvertently lead to the selection of resistant individuals, who can then pass on their resistance to their descendants, making it difficult to treat parasites in livestock.
