Praziquantel is an antiparasitic medication used to treat infections caused by certain types of parasitic worms, including schistosomiasis and liver flukes. It works by paralyzing and killing the parasites, allowing the body to eliminate them naturally. Praziquantel is generally well-tolerated and taken as a single or short-course oral treatment. It is widely used in both individual therapy and mass deworming programs.
