Instruction It so happened that a person is surrounded by a huge number of parasites that can cause harm. Helminths that enter the intestines provoke a lot of diseases, significantly aggravating the general condition of patients. Decaris is a universal remedy for worms that can be used for both adults and children.

general characteristics

The anthelmintic drug Dekaris actively fights against parasites parasitizing in the intestines and stomach, destroying them in one go. The active ingredient Levamisole has a selective effect, carefully relieving a person of worms. Approved for use in children. A single dosage - 150 mg for adults and 50 mg for children, is able to completely cleanse the body of parasites. The blister contains 1 or 2 tablets of white or yellow color.

Indications for use

Dekaris is prescribed for the following diseases:

• ascariasis;
• toxoplasmosis;
• trichostrongylosis;
• non-kotorosis;
• enterobiasis.

These diseases are provoked by the vigorous activity of various helminths: roundworm, toxoplasma, intestinal eels, pinworms, whipworms. In addition, the drug has an immunostimulating effect and can be used as a means of strengthening the immune system.

Method of administration and dosage

The enhanced formula of Decaris allows you to completely get rid of worms in one go. In some cases, you will need to take the drug again as a prophylaxis. It is not recommended to use pills for worms without a doctor's prescription, as this can lead to negative consequences and cause harm.

Fighting helminths does not require a special diet or the use of laxatives. Decaris is recognized as one of the most effective means to help rid a person of worms. However, there are precautions and side reactions that are important to follow.

One tablet, which contains 150 mg of the active substance, is consumed once, after the last meal. It does not need to be chewed, since the main center of activation is the gastrointestinal tract. Worm tablets should be taken with a little water. When used in childhood, part of the tablet is ground into powder, then diluted with water or milk and given to the child.

Side effects

Usually, Decaris is well tolerated if taken on a single dose. In the event that dosages are exceeded or the rules for taking the medication are not followed, the following side reactions may occur:

• From the gastrointestinal tract: pancreatitis, nausea and vomiting, lack of appetite, spastic pain in the intestines, the development of peptic ulcer disease, diarrhea.
• From the excretory system: renal failure, colic, urinary stagnation.
• From the nervous system: hallucinations, convulsions, nervous disorders, hyperexcitability, speech impairment, tremors, fever.
• From the side of hematopoiesis: leukopenia, bleeding (including internal), thrombophlebitis.
• Allergic reactions: swelling of the skin, shortness of breath, urticaria, dermatitis, Quincke's edema.

Sometimes there may be manifestations of stomatitis in the mouth, as well as sleep disturbances such as insomnia.

Contraindications

Tablets for worms are contraindicated in the following cases:

• children under 3 years old;
• pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• agranulocytosis - a disease of the bone marrow, in which the balance of granulocytes is disturbed, causing a lack of their synthesis by blood;
• individual intolerance to the components of the drug.

As a result of the fact that Decaris affects the functioning of the liver and kidneys, it is used with caution and under the supervision of doctors by patients with acute renal and hepatic insufficiency.

Duration of treatment

When there is a need to reuse the drug, it is produced no earlier than 15 days later.

In the treatment of toxoplasmosis, the course of taking the drug is increased to 3 days, using 1 tablet of Decaris in the evening. Also, prolonged treatment is established by a doctor, according to the results of a research tank.

Interaction with other drugs

It is necessary to use Dekaris with extreme caution in combination with drugs that affect hematopoiesis. There may be a quantitative and qualitative imbalance in the blood. The amount of phenytoin increases, so people with diseases of the circulatory system need constant monitoring.

• henopodia oil;
• chloroform;
• tetrachlorethylene;
• carbon tetrachloride.

In combination with Levamisole, the tablet contains auxiliary components:

• corn starch;
• talc;
• natural sweetener;
• dye;
• lactose monohydrate.

Pregnancy and lactation

Tablets for worms are not used during pregnancy, since the load on the kidneys and liver increases, and there is also a risk of negative impact on the development and formation of the fetus. When infected, a pregnant woman is treated with folk remedies that have similar efficacy, but do not harm health.

Levamisole is absorbed into milk, so it should not be used during lactation. If there is an urgent need to use Decaris, breastfeeding is stopped, transferring the child to artificial feeding.

Pediatric use

In the event that there is an urgent need to use Decaris in childhood, the doctor calculates the required dose from the generally accepted norm of 2.5 mg of the drug per 1 kg of the child's weight. In infancy, dosages are reduced to 2 mg / kg, taking into account the nutritional characteristics of the child and the number of bowel movements per day.

Decaris for children contains 50 mg of Levamisole in 1 tablet. You can not use tablets with a higher dosage to combat helminths in children. The drug is also not used as an immunomodulator, since there are more reliable and effective ways to maintain immunity in childhood.
