Recovery of the liver after treatment with biltricide. Modern problems of science and education. Alternative Treatments

08.02.2010, 13:01

Hello! My name is Maria.
I am 22 years old, weight 53 kg, height 165 cm.
I was treated with biltricid 4 days ago (6 tablets).
When I was discharged, I was told to do tubazhi, and take cholagogue for 2 weeks a month for 3 months. They said you can drink weed or pills Allohol, Alfit, Odeston. And then they also advised the dietary supplement "Ekorsol", which includes aspen bark and hill hodgepodge, which have, as it were, an "anti-opisthorchiasis effect." I was told that these substances are able to fight opisthorchs to some extent ... Well, if suddenly they remained after biltricide, which could be, because when probing opisthorchis, they found bile in three samplings, and they said that it was a lot.
Should I buy Ecosol? If I buy regular wasp bark, will I get the same effect? And does aspen bark really have such an effect?

08.02.2010, 15:08

No, none of the listed drugs is recommended in the treatment of opisthorchiasis. By the way, I would give 1 tablet more. Were eggs found in bile before treatment? Was there a follow-up probing after the treatment? Have liver enzyme levels been measured after treatment?

08.02.2010, 16:45

Yes, I didn't express myself very clearly...
Probing took place BEFORE treatment, 2 months ago. In the clinic, the infectious disease doctor said that there were eggs in three bile samplings, and this is too much, so she said that treatment with biltricide may not be 100% successful.

After a month and a half, I went to the hospital, there was a 5-day preparatory period (physio-treatment with a beam for the outflow of bile, allochol after eating, 1 tube with magnesia). On the 6th day, she took 2 tablets of biltricide with an interval of 4 hours. She tolerated the medicine well. The next two days - tubazhi with magnesia, after which I returned home with recommendations from the attending physician (head of the department), described in the first message.
During this week in the hospital, I gave general analysis urine, feces, complete blood count, biochemical analysis blood. I didn’t see the results in my eyes, but the doctor told me that the results are good, without any complaints, there’s even nothing to discuss :). On the last day before discharge, she passed the feces, everything is fine.
Control probing was recommended to be done after 2 months.
I have not heard anything about the level of liver enzymes ... And what analysis is used to check this?

The doctor's recommendations for taking choleretic drugs, as I understand it, were not directly related to treatment, but something like a recovery period to cleanse the body of corpses :) And then - control probing.

08.02.2010, 17:05

Clear. No, all these dietary supplements are not related to the competent treatment of opisthorchiasis. Do not forget to take control probing on time (three times with a break in a week if the result is negative). About aspen bark there is a relatively recent topic in the section.

08.02.2010, 20:35

I got acquainted with the topic about the bark!
By the way, I was lying in the ward of the city infectious diseases hospital in Novosibirsk, about 55 steps from Tolokonskaya's office;) But this is so, by the way :)

08.02.2010, 20:50

Honestly, it doesn't matter. Moreover, allohol contains ready-made bile, and does not at all urge it to go out: D

09.02.2010, 05:16

Ahh, that's how it is :)
Thank you, Elena Evgenevna, for the clarifications and recommendations!

15.02.2010, 19:15

Elena Evgenievna, about a week after taking biltricide, a rash appeared - rare red lumps that constantly itch. I used to have these, but not always. And then they poured it all out at once and wherever possible :) There are 15 pieces all over the body. Does this happen? Doctors said (before treatment) that the rash is a manifestation of opisthorchiasis. Whether the intoxication of an organism after treatment can be shown thus?

P.S. I'll go to the doctor the day after tomorrow.

15.02.2010, 23:10

Yes maybe. After deworming with opisthorchiasis, a long recovery period follows, and symptoms may return without reinvasion. In such cases, symptomatic treatment is prescribed.

25.01.2011, 11:37

Hello!
Almost a year ago I was treated with biltricide. But .... like a real Russian person, I didn’t find the time to bring everything to the end *I throw up my hands with a guilty look* :)
As a result, not a single control probing after treatment, not a single visit to the therapist / infectious disease specialist. By the way, now there is no infectious disease specialist in our clinic at all :(
A month ago, a rare rash again went, red seals, itchy. Nothing else to worry about.
There is no doubt that it is necessary to check again by sounding.
My question is this: control soundings after the treatment of opisthorchiasis are needed to torment a person, but to reassure the doctor that the treatment has helped; Or does it have a healing effect?

Result: positive feedback

10 +

Unpleasant but effective

Result: positive feedback

Efficacy is dose dependent

Benefits: Effective when dosed correctly

Cons: Severe side effects

Result: negative feedback

Not completely healed

Disadvantages: Did not completely get rid of worms, caused vomiting and diarrhea, undeservedly expensive

Result: positive feedback

I liked

Benefits: Heals in 2 days, effective, available for free

Disadvantages: Need preparation before treatment, may have side effects

A huge plus of Biltricid is that it cures opisthorchiasis in just two days. The biggest disadvantage of the tool is that it cannot be used without preparation and does not make sense, because there will simply be no effect. I personally did everything right - I went to the infectious diseases hospital, where they gave me choleretic drugs for a week, passed the tests, and the next week I took Biltricid - they gave it to me for free, so if you have the opportunity, go to the hospital, and for You don't have to pay for the medicine, and you'll be under supervision. Although I personally didn’t need supervision - I drank all the prescribed pills, didn’t feel anything, went to bed. The next day, there were no problems either - except for a little dizziness and noise in my head, but otherwise everything was fine. After taking the pills, I spent another week in the hospital - the same choleretic and droppers. And then the reaction of the body to intoxication appeared - I was covered with acne, all the skin began to itch, my eyes constantly itched, watered and my throat was tickling. This went on for quite a long time - about a month and a half, but then everything returned to normal. Now every six months I check - so far everything is clean.

For this, special preparations are used, for example, those included in the Gelmostop course, as well as some food products. That is why, at the first stage of treatment, the menu should include easily digestible products, which, on the one hand, do not require extra energy from the body to digest food, and on the other hand, allow the gallbladder to be activated, thereby forcing the body to use its own resources.

At the second stage, medications are used, the action of which is aimed at eliminating the helminths directly.

To one of the most effective drugs, allowing you to get rid of the liver fluke and other helminth trematodes, is "Biltricid". Some are also used with "Biltricid" folk remedies that stimulate the gallbladder (if the main sources of damage are the cardiovascular system or the respiratory tract). Menu in this case should also include easily digestible foods that do not require titanic efforts from an already weakened body to digest food.

At the third stage, during which the body goes through a recovery period, additional vitamins and nutrients are needed. This is due to several reasons.

Firstly, during the disease, helminths create extremely unfavorable conditions in the digestive system, releasing special enzymes. The latter interfere with the normal digestion of products, which is why they rot and roam. At the same time, the human body suffers from high intoxication, because, on the one hand, the products in the digestive tract rot and roam, on the other hand, the helminths themselves multiply and grow, which is accompanied by the excretion of their own metabolic product (they do not go anywhere, but remain there). , in the human digestive tract). And, on the third hand, trematode helminths actively consume the nutrients that a person needs for normal life. It turns out that the patient's body suffers from both high intoxication and a lack of nutrients.

As trematode helminths develop and multiply in the human digestive system, the latter experiences discomfort due to the gradual accumulation of metabolic products secreted by helminths, as well as from a lack of nutrients, most of which flukes consume. Compliance with the diet is one of the main aspects of successful treatment and recovery after the treatment of opisthorchiasis, especially if the treatment was carried out with Biltricid.

What is?

The diet for opisthorchiasis involves the consumption of a small amount of food, the total calorie content of which per day should not exceed kilocalories. Of these, the focus should be on the use of carbohydrates (about 350 grams per day), a small amount of vegetable fats (up to 90 grams per day) and proteins. The main attention should be paid to the use of carbohydrates, since the body spends much less energy on their absorption than on the digestion of protein foods.

The main emphasis after the treatment of helminthiasis-opisthorchiasis should be placed on the use of easily digestible food rich in carbohydrates and fiber. On the one hand, it will saturate the body with all micro and macro elements, and on the other hand, it will require little energy for digestion.

So, after the treatment of opisthorchiasis, the main components of the menu should be fruits and vegetables. From drinks, preference should be given:

homemade compotes from seasonal fruits, as well as berries. They can also be used during the main course of treatment);
jelly. They perfectly “envelop” the walls of the stomach and intestines, and this is important, because after the activity of helminths, many cracks and ruptures form in the mucosa;
juices. When it comes to packaged juices, be careful because they contain a lot of sugar. With fresh juices - even more so, since a high acid content is contraindicated if there is a suspicion of an ulcer or gastritis. So juices should be diluted with water before drinking;
tea and coffee can be consumed no more than once a day (tea can be twice, only weak). Natural coffee should not be consumed, it is better to add milk or low-fat cream to it.

Dairy products, by and large, show everything, but do not abuse the percentage of fat. After the treatment of opisthorchiasis, the body needs strength, and the digestion of fats takes too much time and effort.

Main dishes. Among the main dishes, preference should be given to soups, and preferably broths with a low fat content. Puree soups are also perfect, which are quite easily digested and have a “enveloping” effect, which is so necessary for the body to facilitate digestion.

Among protein foods, the focus should be on lean meat. Perfect option - chicken fillet and fish. Naturally, they should be consumed steamed, stewed or baked, but in no case fried.

Good recovery tool digestive system after treatment of helminthiases are porridge. It is advisable to cook them in water or add milk and water in equal proportions, and with a little sugar.

During the first week after the completion of the main course of treatment, you should refuse to add dried fruits to cereals, since the stomach and intestines need time to restore normal motility.

Summary. The main requirements for the menu after the treatment of helminthiasis are the absence of animal fats and "chemicals". All foods should be natural, easily digestible and high in nutrients.

It's worth reading

On the this stage special attention is paid to choleretic therapy. The main goal is the normalization of the work of organs whose functions have been impaired by helminthic invasion. After persecution of opisthorchis, procedures of probeless duodenal sounding are carried out. Thanks to them, the gallbladder contracts more actively and the infected bile is removed from the liver and biliary tract.

The procedure is performed as follows: the patient in the morning on an empty stomach after emptying slowly drinks warm mineral water for 20 minutes, which the doctor prescribes, and then lies on his right side and puts a heating pad on the liver area for about an hour. Tubazhi with opisthorchiasis are first prescribed daily for 7 days, and then this procedure can be performed 2 times a week for 3 months.

During these procedures, the chair should be daily, it is very important to control this, if there are any problems, the doctor can prescribe laxatives. Tubage after treatment of opisthorchiasis is an important stage of treatment, but this procedure should be prescribed by a doctor, because the patient may have contraindications.

In addition, during the rehabilitation period it is very important to take various choleretic herbs, as well as hepatoprotectors, if necessary, antispasmodics and other drugs are prescribed that improve the functions of organs affected during helminthic invasion.

Is it possible to finally get rid of opisthorchia after treatment?

Some patients complain that after the treatment of opisthorchiasis, the right side hurts, this happens because this disease negatively affects the liver and other organs. In some cases, the functions of these organs are not fully restored. That is why all patients who have had this disease should be examined for six months, so possible complications can be prevented.

Opisthorchiasis is a disease caused by flatworms. This disease causes various liver damage.

Usually, the treatment of enterobiasis is not difficult. Modern pharmacological preparations effectively destroy pinworms.

A very unpleasant topic in the medical field that every person would like to avoid.

Opisthorchiasis treatment - drugs and course of treatment according to the scheme

1 Features of opisthorchiasis and its treatment

The cat or Siberian fluke is localized in the bile ducts. It affects the liver and can live in it for up to 20 years. The only way to get to the fluke and poison it is through blood. At the same time, the person himself suffers. Part of the intoxication is given by drugs for opisthorchiasis - a kind of chemotherapy. Then the dying helminths decompose in the ducts and poison the blood and liver.

2 Scheme for the treatment of opistarchosis

Experts have developed the treatment of opisthorchiasis with Biltricid, the scheme includes 3 stages.

With opisthorchiasis, if left untreated, high percent lethal outcomes. Often, malignant tumors and cirrhosis of the liver are formed in organs damaged by helminths.

3 Preparatory stage

During preparatory phase the liver and gallbladder, which are destroyed by flukes, are restored as much as possible. It is necessary to prepare the way for the elimination of toxins and minimize intoxication. The preparatory stage is carried out taking into account all the pathologies of the body and includes courses:

low fat diet;
antiallergic course of drugs and dietary supplements;
5-day course of broad-spectrum antibiotics;
detoxification of the body with intravenous infusions of glucose and hemodez;
choleretic preparations for cleaning the ducts.

To strengthen the immune system and the whole body, vitamin-mineral complexes are prescribed.

With a decrease in the amount of bile entering the stomach - cholestasis, drugs containing ursodeoxycholic acid are prescribed:

With severe pain, the patient is given antispasmodics: No-shpu, Meteospasmil, Baralgin or Drotaverin.

The duration of stage 1 is 10-20 days, depending on the severity of the disease, the presence of other pathologies and drug tolerance.

4 Biltricid - pills for opisthorchiasis

There are several chemicals that destroy the fluke. They are used as a substitute if the medicine for opisthorchiasis - Biltricid cannot be used due to intolerance to its constituent substances.

The main active substance of Biltricid, praziquantel, kills flatworms regardless of their location. Depending on the severity of the invasion, the course dose is calculated in the range of 40-75 mg per kg of body weight. It is divided into 6 doses per day with the calculation of taking 1 or 2 days (6 and 12 servings, respectively). Biltricid is taken 6 times every 4 hours. Experts recommend that adults take pills at night, starting at 22:00.

Stage 5 Chemotherapy

For convenient selection of the prescribed dosage, there are risks on the surface of the tablets. It is impossible to grind and chew the drug, it must enter the stomach in the shell and the main component dissolve in the intestines.

The anthelmintic drug is a potent, has a large number of side effects:

nausea;
rash;
dizziness;
bitterness in the mouth;
a state of dejection, depression;
intoxication;
pain in the right hypochondrium;
temperature increase;
vomit;
insomnia;
weakness;
lack of coordination;
spasms in the intestines;
temperature increase.

In the presence of vomiting, it is necessary to remember the time of taking the tablets and the urge to vomit, report them to the doctor to adjust the amount of Biltricidol taken.

Intoxication of the body, its increase, are associated with the production of additional antigens, which the immune system directs to fight alien proteins and bacteria. Additionally, sorbents are prescribed for purification from slags created by antibodies - decomposition products of flukes. Anti-allergic drugs relieve itching and reduce irritation from exposure to antigens.

After taking the last portion of Biltricide, probing is prescribed approximately 4 hours later:

blind with the use of mineral water;
duodenal.

The purpose of probing is to remove the remains of the bodies of flukes from the biliary tract, their evacuation from the body. At this time, adverse reactions to anthelmintic chemotherapy may increase.

6 Recovery after Biltricide - Stage 3

Dubazhi are made according to the scheme. Daily for the first week. Then once every 7 days for a long time, up to 90 days. Treatment is carried out on an outpatient basis, the patient comes to the hospital for examination and procedures.

The rehabilitation course also includes drug therapy. The patient is prescribed:

hepatoprotectors;
choleretic agents;
anticholestatic substances;
pathogenic preparations.

Additionally, folk remedies can be used to enhance the effect of a medical recovery course. Herbal decoctions:

There are many choleretic plants, and the doctor will recommend the most suitable in a particular case. Cholagogue herbs are brewed separately and fees are prepared from them. To exclude addiction, every 3-4 weeks the composition of the decoctions must be changed. Folk remedies are also used after the completion of drug therapy and a course of probing. Usually herbs drink 4 - 6 months.

3 months after the course of treatment with Biltricid - 2 stages, a 3-fold coprooscopy is done, a stool analysis is performed to determine the number of eggs and worms.

With re-infection, treatment of opisthorchiasis according to the scheme is possible only six months after the completion of the recovery stage.

Recovery after biltricide

I am 22 years old, weight 53 kg, height 165 cm.

I was treated with biltricid 4 days ago (6 tablets).

When I was discharged, I was told to do tubazhi, and take cholagogue for 2 weeks a month for 3 months. They said you can drink weed or pills Allohol, Alfit, Odeston. And then they also advised the dietary supplement "Ekorsol", which includes aspen bark and hill hodgepodge, which have, as it were, an "anti-opisthorchiasis effect." I was told that these substances are able to fight opisthorchs to some extent. Well, if suddenly they remained after biltricide, which could be, since when probing opisthorchs, they found bile in three samplings, and they said that it was a lot.

Should I buy Ecosol? If I buy regular wasp bark, will I get the same effect? And does aspen bark really have such an effect?

Probing took place BEFORE treatment, 2 months ago. In the clinic, the infectious disease doctor said that there were eggs in three bile samplings, and this is too much, so she said that treatment with biltricide may not be 100% successful.

During this week in the hospital I passed a general urine test, feces, a general blood test, a biochemical blood test. I didn’t see the results in my eyes, but the doctor told me that the results are good, without any complaints, there’s even nothing to discuss :). On the last day before discharge, she passed the feces, everything is fine.

I have not heard anything about the level of liver enzymes. What kind of analysis checks this?

By the way, I was lying in the ward of the city infectious diseases hospital in Novosibirsk, about 55 steps from Tolokonskaya's office 😉 But this is so, by the way 🙂

Thank you, Elena Evgenevna, for the clarifications and recommendations!

Almost a year ago I was treated with biltricide. But. like a real Russian person, I didn’t find time to bring everything to the end * with a guilty look, I throw up my hands * 🙂

As a result, not a single control probing after treatment, not a single visit to the therapist / infectious disease specialist. By the way, now there is no infectious disease specialist in our clinic at all 🙁

A month ago, a rare rash again went, red seals, itchy. Nothing else worries.

There is no doubt that it is necessary to check again by sounding.

My question is this: control soundings after the treatment of opisthorchiasis are needed to torment a person, but to reassure the doctor that the treatment has helped; Or does it have a healing effect?

Treatment

Opisthorchiasis does not go away by itself, it needs to be treated. Ignoring the disease can result in serious damage to the liver and digestive organs. It can affect both adults and children, as well as animals that eat fish.

Comprehensive treatment involves taking a number of medications, aimed not only at the destruction of helminths, but also at supporting the body of the infected. In addition to deworming drugs, the doctor prescribes choleretic, enzymatic and intestinal motility drugs. Antihistamines are often needed. The scheme of therapy and doses depend on the patient's condition and the degree of damage to his body by helminths.

Diet

In addition to taking medication, therapy includes a diet that plays an important role in treatment - it increases its effectiveness, reduces the recovery time. The main settings of the diet are frequent meals in small portions, the exclusion of fatty, fried and spicy foods and alcohol. Drinking plenty of water is shown, which helps to remove toxins from the body. The diet is included in the preparatory stage.

Preparatory phase

Diet, which has already been mentioned above.
Taking antihistamines. They are necessary to fight allergies, since infection often causes allergic reaction organism.
Cleansing the intestines from toxins with the help of sorbents.
Reception of enzyme and choleretic agents to improve the digestion of food. Drugs are taken according to a certain scheme, depending on the type of JVP.
Painkillers (antispasmodics). They relieve pain, which is a frequent companion of the disease.
Broad-spectrum antibiotics to fight inflammation in organs affected by helminths.

Treatment regimen

The method of therapy involves stages, and it begins with the preparation of the body. The need for a preparatory phase is explained by the fact that some anthelmintic drugs are toxic to the human body. It mainly concerns the digestive system.

One of the activities of the preparatory phase is the diet. In addition to her, the doctor prescribes a number of medications to support the body, which is experiencing a serious load during deworming. These are the following drugs:

Edem, Cetrin and Diazolin - have an anti-allergic effect.
Hemodez solution or 5% glucose - for detoxification.
Choleretics and cholekinetics - as choleretic drugs.
Antibiotics with a wide spectrum of action - to combat inflammation.
Enterosgel or activated charcoal - remove toxins from the intestines.
Biological products and enzymatic substances - to maintain a healthy intestinal microflora and improve digestion.

A feature of the preparatory stage is that it is carried out in a hospital under the supervision of a doctor.

main stage

There are many types of anthelmintics available. All of them have their own characteristics regarding the dose and regimen. Most often, the following medications are prescribed for deworming.

Find out how to get rid of opisthorchiasis at home here.

Biltricide

Biltricide is taken before or during meals. Tablets are washed down clean water. The time between doses should be in the range of 4-6 hours. The duration of the reception is short - only 1-3 days - and it is determined by how successfully the recovery is going.

One tablet of biltricide contains 600 mg of the active substance. The dose is determined at the rate of 25 mg per kg of the patient's weight. The maximum daily dose is 1800 mg (3 tablets).

Biltricide may have the following side effects:

malaise and weakness;
lack of coordination;
headache;
a feeling similar to alcohol intoxication;
bitterness in the mouth;
numbing of the senses.

Ecorsol

Ecorsol is a natural antihelminthic drug that effectively destroys opisthorchis. It has a complex effect - deworming and hepatoprotective. The latter is especially important, since in the treatment of helminths the human liver sometimes suffers.

The drug can be taken by people over 12 years of age. It is taken 3 times a day for 3 tsp. within half an hour after eating. Reception should last from 3 days to a week. The vast majority of patients tolerate Ecorsol easily, without any complications.

What pills for worms better find out here.

Populin

The raw material for the production of populin is aspen bark, rich in salicin, tannins and acids. Due to its naturalness, populin is absolutely harmless and can be prescribed to children from a very young age.

Adults should take the medicine one teaspoon diluted in 100 ml of water. For children over 4, half a teaspoon is enough. If necessary, the doctor can adjust the dose. The medicine is taken after meals three times a day. The course of therapy is a week.

Nemozol

Nemozol has an extended spectrum of action against helminths. It can be taken by adults and children from 3 years of age. Moreover, the dose does not vary depending on age, all patients should take 400 mg of the drug at a time (20 mg of concentrated suspension). Nemozol is taken once a day for 3 days.

Praziquantel

Praziquantel - often prescribed for deworming with opisthorchiasis. If the patient has undergone a massive infection and is admitted to the hospital, then his treatment will most likely be carried out with the help of praziquantel. The drug easily penetrates the body of helminths and causes paralysis of their muscles, as a result of which opisthorchis die.

Praziquantel should be taken two to three times a day. Usually one day of admission is enough to destroy the helminths. But if necessary, the doctor can extend the course. The dosage is determined individually, taking into account the weight of the patient.

Treatment after biltricide

Biltricide is used as one of the main means of deworming. It can be prescribed to adults and children from 4 years. There is no information on the safety of biltricide for babies under 4 years of age, so you should refrain from using it. Women who are in the first months of pregnancy are also not prescribed it - in order to avoid negative consequences for the fetus.

With regard to helminths, biltricid acts quickly and effectively, but has a number of side effects that make treatment quite uncomfortable for them. In particular, those taking biltricide may experience these side effects of taking the medication.

Vertigo with headache.
Nausea and vomiting.
Pain in the intestines.
Diarrhea stained with blood.
Heaviness in the hypochondrium.
Sweating.
Symptoms of meningism (irritation of the meninges with dizziness, headache and other manifestations).
Increased intracranial pressure.
Inconsistency of thinking.
Allergy.

Exceeding the dosage of biltricide can lead to destructive changes in the liver, which appear after 12 hours from the moment of administration. The disadvantages of the drug include the manifestation of symptoms of damage to the gastrointestinal tract, liver, biliary tract. Therefore, treatment is aimed at restoring the functions of the digestive system.

Conclusion

Opisthorchiasis in adults can be in the chronic or acute stage. With the right treatment regimen, it is completely curable. In the case of a massive infection, with severe symptoms, the neutralization of the disease should be carried out in a hospital. The time for the final cure of the invasion depends on the degree of infection and the condition of the patient.

Increased eosinophilic cationic protein after taking three courses of nemozole, biltricide There were frequent recurrences of genital herpes (every month) during the year. The treatment prescribed by the venereologist did not help in any way (acyclovir 800 mg three times a day). After changing the venereologist and the hospital, an immunogram was prescribed, which showed an increased ECP value (I am attaching a photo of the analysis, the ECP analysis showed 80 ng / ml), which was in February of this year. After administration of Nemozole, the value rose to 91 ng/ml, and after subsequent courses of Nemosol and biltricide, the value gradually decreased to 36 ng/ml and remained unchanged after another course of biltricide and triad. The relapses of HH decreased (this year there were 4 times), since acyclovir was drunk for half a year. Before the first tests for ECP, anti-allergic drugs were taken, and I never observed allergies in myself, except for the fact that a runny nose begins in the cold. A few years ago I did allergy tests for the main allergens, the result was negative. What other tests need to be done to exclude or confirm the helminthic cause of an increase in ECP? You just don’t feel like drinking anthelmintic drugs, because the gastrointestinal tract is in poor condition after the courses that have already taken place.

children's age up to 4 years;
cysticercosis, the causative agent of which is a tapeworm;
intolerance to individual components.

Patients in whom the heart rhythm is disturbed, take the drug under the close supervision of the attending physician. cannot be destroyed by Biltricide. Other drugs are also prescribed to combat the bovine worm.

Side effects

Praziquantel is a very strong substance that can cause side effects. Other influencing factors are some of the individual components, the degree of invasion, and the site of localization.

It is customary to highlight such side effects from taking the drug:

malfunction of the liver leads to the development of various allergic reactions;
nausea, vomiting;
headache;
heaviness in the epigastric region;
taste of bitterness in the mouth;
loss in space;
temperature increase;
insomnia.

Manifestations disappear with the abolition of the drug. Usually a person returns to the usual appearance the very next day after taking the last dose of the drug. The instructions for the use of Biltricid for opisthorchiasis indicate that treatment should be carried out only under the strict supervision of a doctor. Due to the high likelihood of side effects, a person may need urgent medical attention.

Taking the drug

General information

No medical professional will proceed to treatment until the patient has passed all necessary tests. Comprehensive diagnostics includes fluorography, urine and blood tests. This will help determine the duration of the course of treatment and the intensity of rehabilitation therapy.

This rule is rather a necessity that allows you to assess the general condition of the infected. During the diagnosis, the degree of damage is revealed internal organs and any other damage. At the time of treatment, the patient should refuse fatty foods and not drink alcohol.

Reception

The minimum age at which you can take the drug is 4 years. In this case, the dosage is set exclusively by the doctor. The drug is contraindicated for use by pregnant women and mothers during breastfeeding.

Anthelmintic therapy with Biltricid lasts no more than 3 days. In most cases, the medicine is taken three times a day, while calculating the dosage (25 mg per 1 kg of weight).

Due to the possibility of various side effects at the time of taking the drug, it is necessary to postpone any work that requires attention. During treatment, a person should be provided with maximum peace and comfort, only in this case the result will be noticeable.

Admission Information

You need to take the tablet in integrity without preliminary grinding.
The medicine is washed down exclusively with ordinary water without gas. Do not drink juice, tea, coffee or any other drinks.
As a rule, Biltricid is drunk during meals or before meals.
Usually, doctors prescribe one tablet per day. It is better to drink at night.
With long-term therapy and the appropriate dose, it is necessary to take breaks between doses of the drug. They should not be less than 4 hours and more than 6.

Recovery period

After treatment of opisthorchiasis, the patient is prescribed a duodenal sounding procedure. This event is necessary in order to assess the quality of treatment and exclude further development diseases. The procedure is repeated for two weeks.

After treatment of opisthorchiasis with Biltricid, the patient needs rehabilitation therapy. It consists in taking antispasmodics and choleretic drugs. Its duration does not exceed 1 month.

According to the condition of the infected, the doctor may prescribe additional medications if necessary. Herbal decoctions have proven themselves well. However, their reception should be long, for 2-4 months, at least. In some cases, enzymes may be prescribed.

Monitoring the effectiveness of treatment

Thus, the patient controls the state of the body and, when the helminths return, can begin a new stage of treatment. Biltricide is best for this. It instantly acts on worms, destroying them and without causing severe harm to the body.

Do not delay treatment, as lesions of internal organs can become a contraindication to the treatment of the disease.

Before starting treatment, the doctor must tell almost everything about Biltricide to every patient. Study the medical history and, after receiving all the previously passed tests, draw up a treatment regimen.

Any doctor must make sure that the drug is suitable for antihelminthic therapy and will not cause any harm to the body. Reviews about Biltricid say that if after taking the first pill there is any reaction, the medicine is canceled and they try to replace it with another one. Usually the agent is well tolerated by all patients, only in rare cases there is intolerance to individual components.
