About Anthelmintics.

Anthelmintics are a therapeutic class of antiparasitic agents used to eradicate or expel parasitic worms (helminths) from human and animal hosts.

These medications exert selective toxicity through several distinct mechanisms, including disrupting microtubule assembly and glucose uptake, inducing neuromuscular paralysis via membrane hyperpolarization or persistent depolarization, and impairing parasite calcium homeostasis.

Clinically, anthelmintics are indicated for infections caused by nematodes (such as pinworm, ascariasis, hookworm, and strongyloidiasis), cestodes (such as tapeworms, echinococcosis, and neurocysticercosis), and trematodes (including schistosomiasis and liver flukes).
