FLUKES: Praziquantel, Albendazole, & Triclabendazole Drug Treatment Methods


For Parasite Warriors ~~
 
The drugs-of-choice for Fluke (Trematode) infections are Praziquantel & Albendazole.  The drug treatment protocol:  http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1667673#i.
 
Praziquantel (Biltricide) kills adult flukes in the liver, GI tract, blood, pancreas, & lungs. 
 
Albendazole (Albenza) is a systemic drug.  It kills leftover fluke eggs, larva, & cysts & those scattered or disseminated throughout the body.
 
There are drug-resistant strains of Fasciola Hepatica (Sheep Liver Fluke), Fasciola Magna (Deer Liver Fluke), & Fasciola Gigantica overseas where Praziquantel has limited effectiveness (60% cure rate).
 
The drug Triclabendazole (Egaten) is used for those flukes in endemic countries (Egypt, N. Africa, Europe, SE Asia, etc.) (85% cure rate). 
 
The veterinarian liquid suspension of Triclabendazole, Fasinex, is used overseas for livestock infected with drug-resistant strains.  It's also used for humans when Triclabendazole or Egaten tabs are unavailable.
 
In trials & studies, other drugs had varying results but less effective cure rates:  Nitazoxanide, Myrrh (Mirazid), Clorsulon, Bithionol, & Artesunate.

Triclabendazole (Egaten & Fasinex) are banned for sale & shipment to the US & Canada.  They can be obtained through bootleg sources, but the cost is very expensive.
 
For rare cases of these flukes in the US, a doctor can request Triclabendazole (Egaten) on a special-needs basis from Novartis or Bithionol (Lorothidol or Bitin) from the CDC.
 
Before obtaining Tricla/Egaten/Fasinex for self-treatment, suggest lab testing to confirm infection w/these flukes.  This step might save you a lot of money in the long run!
 
 
Hope this info clarifies the various drugs used for fluke infections.
 
Cheers ~~ ICU
