GlossaryAnthelmintic

medication that expels or kills parasitic worms

An anthelmintic, also known as an antihelminthic or dewormer, is a type of medication used to treat infections caused by parasitic worms, such as roundworms, tapeworms, and flukes. These drugs work by either killing the parasites directly or expelling them from the host's body, thereby alleviating symptoms and preventing further health complications.
