Pyrantel is an anthelmintic medication used to treat parasitic worm infections, particularly infections caused by roundworms, pinworms, and hookworms. It works by paralyzing the worms’ nervous systems, causing them to lose their grip on the intestinal wall and be expelled from the body via natural bowel movements. Pyrantel is available in various forms, including tablets and suspensions, and is widely used in both human and veterinary medicine. It is known for its safety and efficacy, with minimal side effects. Due to its targeted action on the worms’ neuromuscular system, it is not absorbed well into the bloodstream, reducing the risk of systemic toxicity.
