Preparations for the treatment of Giardiasis

Lamblias are microscopic parasites that have the ability to multiply and survive in the human intestine. Getting into the human body, lamblia cause inflammation and irritation of the intestinal mucosa, as a result, the digestive process is disrupted. Lamblias provoke a disease called lambliasis.

Basically, antiparasitic treatment is carried out by assigning courses( one or two courses) of specific drugs. Preparations that the patient took during preparatory treatment, he continues to take( enzymes, choleretic, antispasmodics).During a pronounced exacerbation of gastroenterological disease( moreover, any) drugs for the treatment of Giardiasis is not recommended. Giardiasis is treated according to a modern scheme, which includes two courses of treatment with antiparasitic drugs( makmirorom and ornidazole).The courses are held one after another with a 5-7 day break. This scheme of treatment is the most effective. The attending physician prescribes dosages of the drugs depending on the weight of the patient's body.

It should be noted that the patient's condition after treatment with antiparasitic drugs on day 3-4 may deteriorate, usually this condition lasts five to seven days. This state is explained by the fact that a huge number of parasites disintegrate in the intestine and toxins and allergens enter the blood in large quantities.
