What is Praziquantel?

Praziquantel is an antiparasitic medication used to treat infections caused by tapeworms and flukes—parasites that can take up residence in your intestines, liver, lungs, or bloodstream. It's a highly effective, short-course treatment often taken in a single day. Praziquantel works by disrupting the parasite's muscle function, causing it to lose its grip on tissue and be expelled naturally by the body. Your prescription dose and schedule will depend on which parasite is being treated.

Parasite paralysis

Causes rapid, irreversible muscle spasms in the parasite by increasing calcium permeability, preventing it from holding onto tissue.

Membrane disruption

Damages the outer surface of the parasite, exposing it to your immune system so your body can help eliminate it effectively.

Broad-spectrum coverage

Effective against multiple species of tapeworms and flukes in a single, short-course treatment—often just one day of dosing.
