Helminths are most susceptible to children, but adults are not immune from this scourge. Moreover, experts in the field of parasitology are sure that every third person wears some worms in his body. Helminthiasis is dangerous in itself, because it disrupts the functioning of human organs and systems. At the same time, it causes a sharp weakening of immunity, loss of appetite and a whole range of related problems, the leader among which is an allergic reaction. Candles from worms are urged to help cope with the problem, which should be prescribed only by the doctor after the examination and the delivery of appropriate tests to identify the type of infestation.
Benefits and efficacy in one medicine
Previously, only medicines and tablets were antiparasitic drugs, but modern pharmacology has also produced rectal suppositories. The tool quickly gained popularity among parasitologists and caused good responses in patients. Candles have many advantages over oral medications. Let's consider them further:
- Safe composition. As a rule, suppositories are made from natural raw materials without the use of aggressive chemical constituents. As a result, they do not have a toxic and irritating effect on the intestines. The natural composition of suppositories makes them available for use by small children, pregnant women, people of advanced age and patients suffering from malfunctions in the immune system.
- Quick effect. The medicinal formula of the suppository quickly penetrates the intestinal mucosa and begins its work. In terms of speed, the effect is comparable to the purpose of injections, but injections are not easy for children.
- Local impact. Candles from worms exert their effect only at the injection site and do not affect other human organs and systems. Therefore, there are much fewer side effects, and they are less often diagnosed.
- The convenience of use. No treatment is required for treatment. The patient is able to independently administer the prescribed candles, without resorting to the services of a health care provider.
- Comprehensive impact. In addition to combating parasites, suppositories have a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect and help get rid of constipation. Therefore, candles are often prescribed to people who are tormented by this problem, exacerbated by the presence of helminths.
It is important
Suppositories from worms, as well as any suppositories, must be stored in the refrigerator. For a more comfortable introduction, you can get one drug 15 minutes before using it. Appearance and shape will remain the same, but the temperature will be more comfortable.
The average course of getting rid of the problem varies from five to seven days. However, a specialist can continue therapy based on tests and the severity of the disease. The drug usually requires a single use during the day. It is better to do this before a night's sleep, so that the product does not leak as a result of active movements during the day.
Experts advise to use a cleansing enema before using the suppository, if there was no natural act of defecation during the day.
Helminthiasis treatment in children
Candles from worms in adults and children differ primarily in their natural composition, for which they are appreciated by experts. Such drugs do not cause irritation of the delicate intestinal mucosa and rarely cause an allergic reaction, which is extremely important in the treatment of children. At the same time, the effectiveness of suppositories from worms is not inferior to the usual for many tablets. But the pills administered orally have a detrimental effect on the gastrointestinal tract and are toxic. The liver, urinary tract and other systems are affected.
Parasitologists believe that suppositories are the best drug for the treatment of helminthiasis in children. However, you can not prescribe a remedy yourself. The fact is that medications are different and it is important to identify the type of worms that have settled in the child's body. In addition, the dosage is also extremely important, because too much medication can harm children's health, and a small one can not overcome the problem to the end.
Typical problem
What kind of suppositories from worms to appoint a child, the doctor can decide after receiving the results of feces and blood tests. But the most typical ailments in childhood are the following:
- Ascaridosis. It is provoked by the ingestion of parasites called "roundworms".
- Enterobiosis. Pinworms provoke the problem.
The most common pathology is considered in preschool age. It is at this age period that the peak incidence rate occurs. For this reason, all children attending preschool institutions, as well as traveling to camps, are tested accordingly. If pathology is detected, then the doctor can recommend candles from worms for children, which quickly and with minimal consequences solve the problem. Next, consider the most popular and effective suppositories.

Judging by the reviews, the medication quickly fixes the problem, does not cause discomfort, and side effects are associated only with an individual reaction.
When candles are prescribed for worms, the price of a medicine is an important issue. Nigella Sativa is by no means a budget drug. The cost of one package containing 10 suppositories (usually enough to eliminate the problem) is within 1000 rubles. But safety and efficacy are proven by patient reviews and expert feedback. Instructions for use are quite simple. At night, you need to insert one candle. The course is determined by the doctor, based on analyzes.

This circumstance allows for only one course of treatment, which significantly reduces the burden on the body. The price is quite reasonable. One package costs between 250-300 rubles.
Reviews about the drug are mostly positive. Candles do not cause irritation and quickly fix the problem. However, it is worth strictly adhering to the recommended course of treatment, which varies, depending on the type of helminthiasis:
- So, with the usual enterobiosis or ascariasis, it is necessary to introduce one suppository containing 400 mg of the active component. The procedure must be repeated after 21 days.
- If toxocariasis worries, then the scheme looks different. It is necessary within a week (the doctor can reduce the period to five days) to introduce one candle in the morning and evening. It is important to observe a time period of 12 hours.
- Cysticercosis also requires a double administration during the day, but the duration of treatment can last up to 28 days.
- If the patient has giardiasis, then one suppository is prescribed for up to five consecutive days.
All suppositories intended for children relieve the baby not only of parasites, but also have an anti-inflammatory effect, coupled with an immunomodulatory effect.
