For 40 years no one knew exactly how praziquantel kills blood flukes. Research published in 2021 identified a worm calcium channel as its target, explaining paralysis and skin damage.
A fatty meal can markedly change how much praziquantel reaches the bloodstream. Here is the pharmacology behind that effect and how dosing guidance accounts for it.
Praziquantel cures schistosomiasis but tastes so bitter that young children spit it out or vomit it up—new research aims to finally fix that.
Praziquantel cures schistosomiasis reliably, but not equally. The parasite species, the worm's age, and even the patient's own immune system all shape the outcome.
Praziquantel kills schistosome blood flukes by forcing calcium into their muscle cells, causing paralysis and exposing them to immune attack—a mechanism decades in the unraveling.
Praziquantel is the treatment of choice for most intestinal tapeworm infections, typically cured with a single well-studied dose.
Praziquantel treats schistosomiasis and tapeworm infections, but its tablet form, coating and even its chemical mirror-image structure change how well it works.
Praziquantel (Biltricide) is a stable, room-temperature-storable tapeworm and schistosomiasis medication with a labeled shelf life of several years when kept dry and unopened.
A close look at what clinical evidence actually shows about praziquantel (Biltricide) in children, pregnant and breastfeeding women, and older adults.
