What Medication Should Be Taken for Parasites in the Stomach?

If there are parasites in the stomach, anti-parasitic drugs should be taken. Commonly used anti-parasitic drugs include kuailianpi, shijunzi, binglang, nanguazi, and leiwan, etc. Intestinal parasites refer to parasites that mainly parasitize in the intestines of humans or other animals, and are mainly infected through contaminated food or drinking water. Types of intestinal parasites include roundworms, pinworms (nematodes), hookworms, tapeworms, and liver flukes, etc. Common symptoms of intestinal parasitosis include abdominal discomfort, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, anal itching, skin sensitivity, intestinal obstruction, and bile duct obstruction. Drugs that can kill or expel intestinal parasites from the body are called anti-parasitic drugs. These drugs are mainly used for diseases caused by intestinal parasites (roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms, pinworms, etc.). Patients often have symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, anorexia or excessive hunger, yellow complexion, and emaciation. Drugs can be selected according to the type of parasite. Taking anti-parasitic drugs can paralyze or kill the parasites, enabling them to be expelled from the body for fundamental cure. For patients with weak constitution, they should first take tonic medicine, or use both tonic and eliminating methods. Anti-parasitic drugs are generally taken on an empty stomach in the morning to facilitate contact between the drug and the parasites and better exert the anti-parasitic effect. Laxatives are often used to promote the expulsion of parasites. Some anti-parasitic drugs are toxic and should be used with caution by pregnant women. Commonly used anti-parasitic drugs include kuailianpi, shijunzi, binglang, nanguazi, and leiwan, etc. Anti-parasitic drugs should generally be taken on an empty stomach in the morning to allow the drug to fully contact the parasites and enhance the anti-parasitic effect. When the abdominal pain caused by parasite accumulation is severe, the main focus should be on relieving the pain caused by the parasites. After the abdominal pain is relieved, anti-parasitic treatment can be carried out. Some anti-parasitic drugs are toxic and should be used strictly according to the dosage. The treatment should be stopped once the disease is relieved to avoid damaging the vital qi or causing excessive toxicity. Pregnant women and the elderly or infirm should use these drugs with caution. Some anti-parasitic drugs, such as leiwan, have active ingredients that are insoluble in water and not resistant to high temperatures, so they are only suitable for administration as pills or powders.
