<div class="section1">
Threadworm infections are treated with medications. The drugs most often given are ivermectin, thiabendazole (Mintezol), and albendazole. Ivermectin is generally preferred because it has fewer side effects than thiabendazole. These drugs, which are taken by mouth over a period of two to seven days, work by preventing the development of eggs and new larvae. Patients with severe infections should be given protein replacement, blood transfusions, and fluids to replace losses from nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Patients who are taking corticosteroids should be carefully evaluated if they have symptoms of threadworm infection, because these medications encourage the development of hyperinfection syndrome.

Threadworm infection can be treated with tablets or medicines. I faced the problem of threadworm sometime back and was really irritated due to them. I tried numerous treatment but nothing proved to be effective. Then a friend of mine recommended me Ovex and while searching on the net, I found it here: http://www.chemistdirect.co.uk/ovex-family-pack-tablets_1_1156.html After trying it, I was really surprised to see the results. It proved to be effective and helped me get rid of threadworm.
