Pharmacological properties

The medicine also stimulates the cleansing of the intestines from the waste products of parasites, which has a beneficial effect on the general condition and helps the body to recover faster. In a severe course of the violation, the medication reduces the risk of complications from other organs of the abdominal cavity.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

The drug is considered fast-acting, since a component of its composition immediately after penetration into the intestine begins to fight parasites. Its principle of action is based on the ability to suppress the production of protein, which is important for the normal functioning of the parasite's body.

As a result of a decrease in the production of this protein, metabolic processes in the parasite's body are disrupted, especially in the intestines and muscle fibers. Helminths become inactive, they die rather quickly due to the lack of nutritional components.

The drug also has other properties:

• The intestines are cleared of parasites, its functioning improves, and symptoms that are often present in patients with a prolonged course of the disease are eliminated.
• The drug somewhat reduces the likelihood of re-development of helminthiasis.
• The active ingredient has a wide spectrum of activity, which makes it possible to destroy various types of parasites. The drug is especially effective for mixed helminthiases, when several types of helminths multiply in the body. This significantly worsens the condition and, in the absence of treatment, will certainly provoke complications.
• The medication acts quickly, which allows you to shorten the recovery period after cleansing the intestines from parasites.

The drug is well tolerated by patients, when ingested, it is quickly distributed through the digestive tract, but in small quantities it enters the bloodstream. Specialists, when examining the patient's blood, do not find traces of the component in an unchanged form. The bioavailability of the drug is approximately 30%, which is not considered a high indicator.

Doctors note an increase in bioavailability when taken simultaneously with fatty foods. It also allows for an approximately 5-fold increase in the amount of the ingredient in the blood. The processing of the substance occurs in the patient's liver. The metabolites formed in this case also have anthelmintic properties, which makes the agent more effective.

After the ingredients are processed, their degradation products are evacuated by the kidneys. Experts note that if the functioning of the paired organ is disrupted, there is no deterioration in the excretion of ingredients. Despite this, sometimes a dose adjustment is required according to individual indications.
