How the drug works

The action of the preparation "Aldazol" instruction describes in detail, and it is as follows. The active substance selectively suppresses the polymerization of beta-tubulin due to the destruction of cytoplasmic cells of the intestinal tract of helminths, suppresses the utilization of glucose, does not allow the movement of secretory granules in the muscle cells of roundworms, which contributes to their death.

The active substance is slightly absorbed from the stomach, and in the blood plasma it is not detected in an unchanged form. However, albendazole can be detected in urine, bile, liver, spinal and cystic fluids, as it easily spreads throughout the body. The greatest content of the substance in the body is achieved in 2-5 hours after administration. Excretion occurs through the kidneys and bile.

If the drug is taken for a long time and at high dosages, removal of it from the body takes several weeks.

The instructions attached to the preparation "Aldazol" necessarily contain several caveats that must be considered when using the drug. There are a number of diseases in which the drug must be taken with caution:

• Kidney failure;
• cirrhosis of the liver;
• Oppression of bone marrow hematopoiesis;
• Neurocysticercosis.

Before treatment with the drug "Aldazol" instructions for use should be carefully studied by the patient. It is even better to start therapy only after consulting a doctor.

Once it is started, it is necessary to keep under control:

• Activity of hepatic transaminases;
• Number of leukocytes.

Analog "Aldazol" in the form of a suspension

The drug "Aldazol" is available only in the form of tablets coated with a film membrane. However, there is an analogue of this agent, which has in its composition the same active substance, namely albendazole. This is the drug "Wormil". It is produced not only in tablets, but also in the form of a suspension.

"Vormil" is prescribed when the following parasites are detected:

• Intestinal helminths;
• Cestodes;
• The simplest lamblia;
• Larvae of T. Solium and Gnatostoma spinigerum.

Also, "Vormil" contributes to the reduction and destruction of cysts of granular echinococcus.

The dosage of the drug is determined by the doctor depending on the weight of the patient, the type of parasite and the severity of the disease.

When treating Giardiasis, children from 2 to 12 years of age are prescribed 1 tablet or 10 ml of suspension per day. The drug is taken within 5 days.

Gnathostomosis and capillarial disease are treated for 10 days, in a dosage of 1 tablet per day or 10 ml of suspension. Depending on the results of the tests, therapy can be extended up to 20 days.

Treatment with the drug "Vormil" is recommended to be carried out under the supervision of a doctor, as well as with the drug "Aldazol", since it is necessary to keep the level of leukocytes in the blood under control.

If you take "Praziquantel", "Dexamethasone" and "Cimetidine" with these medicines at the same time, the concentration of the active substance (albendazole) will increase in the body, this must be taken into account when prescribing a dosage.

Side effects when taking drugs against helminths

When you take such toxic drugs, you can not say about possible side effects. The following manifestations are noted:

• On the part of the digestive organs: nausea, vomiting, heartburn, stomatitis, flatulence, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain;
• From the nervous system: dizziness, hallucinations, headaches, cramps, drowsiness or insomnia, confusion;
• From the circulatory system: leukopenia, pancytopenia;
• Decreased visual acuity;
• Skin manifestations: itching, hives, dermatitis, pemphigus, angioedema.

It is also possible to violate the menstrual cycle, increase blood pressure, muscle pain, joint pain and other manifestations. Therefore, when using the drug, you should carefully monitor your health, and in case of an adverse reaction you should consult a doctor. It is important that the instruction be read before taking the "Aldazol" preparation. Suspension for the child must be properly dosed.

Use of drugs for prophylaxis

Of course, when talking about helminths, one can not help talking about preventive measures. First of all, they should be in the following:

• It is necessary to observe the rules of personal hygiene;
• In the food should only eat washed vegetables and fruits;
• It is necessary to conduct high-quality heat treatment of meat and fish products;
• Milk should be boiled;
• Use only cleaned or filtered water.

The task of adults is to teach the child to observe these rules from childhood.

In the event that an adult or a child has helminths or a disease associated with parasites, the entire family must undergo treatment, since there is constant contact with the parasite carrier. If we talk about the drug "Aldazol", the instruction for use for prophylaxis does not indicate the dosage, therefore, it is not prescribed for this purpose.

If a patient is diagnosed with enterobiosis, all members of the family should be treated. To do this, appoint "Aldazol" one tablet (400 mg) once. Repeat in three weeks.

The drug "Vormil" for prevention is not prescribed because it is very toxic. Take it only after confirming the presence of helminths. Especially it concerns children. For adults, a consultation with a parasitologist is necessary.

Reviews about the drug "Aldazol"

So, we thoroughly examined the drug "Aldazol", instructions for use. The patients' comments about the medicine vary, but they are more positive.

Before the child goes to the kindergarten, all tests are taken. But often after some time of visiting a children's institution, parents notice that the baby has started to eat worse, itches the ass. When analyzing feces, ascarids are found. Doctors often appoint "Aldazol". Reviews about the drug usually from parents are good. If you take it according to the scheme, then there are no side effects.

Some parents do not turn to doctors, but independently decide to get rid of parasites. To increase and accelerate the effect, the dosage is exceeded and instead of one tablet, the child is given 2 or 3. As a result, when the blood test is taken, an increase in leukocytes is found. Here such there can be consequences if it is not so carefully studied before reception of a preparation "Aldazolum" the instruction. Parents' feedback makes it possible to prevent such mistakes. And even better before using, consult a doctor.

In most patients, the drug "Aldazol" receives the best reviews. Side effects, it almost does not cause, but with parasites cope perfectly.

What is the difference between the suspension of "Vormil" from the drug "Aldazol"

There are several differences in the administration of these drugs.

1. "Wormil" in the form of tablets must be chewed.
2. Suspension can be taken in children from 2 years of age.
3. "Vormil" in powder form is diluted and taken as a suspension.
4. It is recommended to take the instructions for use together with fatty foods and wash down with water tablets "Aldazol".

The suspension contains additional auxiliary substances:

• Sodium benzoate;
• Sodium methylhydroxybenzoate;
• Sucrose;
• Sodium proppylhydroxybenzoate;
• Polysorbate 80;
• Croscarmellose;
• Erythrosin;
• Glycerol;
• Essence of mixed fruits;
• Raspberry essence;
• purified water.

Suspension is less toxic to the baby and pleasant to the taste.

Preparations "Aldazol" and "Vormil" act on identical helminths, but "Aldazol" has a slightly wider spectrum of application. He kills more pig and ribbon chain.

When appointing "Vormila", if the patient has a neurocysticercosis disease, weighs less than 60 kg, the doctor should determine the dosage of the drug, which should be taken at a rate of 15 mg / kg per day. The total dose should be divided into two doses.

It is impossible not to say about the price of drugs. "Aldazol" produces the Kiev vitamin plant, and "Vormil" - the manufacturer of "Windlas Heelskere Pvt. Ltd. for Mili Helsker Ltd. (India / Great Britain). This greatly affects the price of drugs. Consequently, "Aldazol" is cheaper, and therefore more affordable and more profitable for those who save money.

"Aldazol" or "Wormil"?

What's better? We described above what the difference between the two drugs is and what the opinions are expressed by patients after taking the drug "Aldazol". "Vormil" also has good reviews. If a drug is given in the form of chewing tablets, the children, though with a little pleasure, but chew them. Be sure to take a lot of fluids during the day. Most parents will confirm that such treatment is successful and does not cause side effects.

Many lovers of domestic dogs and cats note that helminths are used to rid animals of helminths, and for themselves use "Vormil" for prophylaxis.

The drug "Aldazol", of course, is much cheaper, and in composition is almost the same as "Vormil".

If the latter is used as a suspension for giardiasis, then the patients claim that the drug gives good results.

Reviews about "Vormil" and "Aldazol" are of different nature. Summarizing, we can draw the following conclusions:

• The effectiveness of the drug for each individual;
• It is necessary to consult a doctor and read the instructions carefully before use.

The effectiveness of both drugs is quite high. Doctors note the manifestation of side effects associated with the gastrointestinal tract or skin manifestations. It is also possible to reduce immunity. However, these are, rather, rare phenomena than frequent ones. Therefore, do not self-medicate, and if you have problems, you need to visit a doctor who, according to the results of the tests, will prescribe optimal and effective therapy.
