Anti-worm medications

Anti-worm medications, also known as anthelmintics, are drugs used to treat infections caused by parasitic worms, such as roundworms, tapeworms, and flukes. These medications work by disrupting the metabolic processes of the worms, leading to their death and expulsion from the host’s body, thus alleviating symptoms of infection.
