Management and Therapy
Praziquantel, 20 mg/kg body weight, three times a day. Praziquantel causes immobilized contraction of the worm, such that it can no longer grasp the intestinal walls, and can be eliminated from the body Three 2-g doses of niclosamide or two 50 mg/kg doses of bithionol have also proven to be effective when Praziquantel was either not available or treatment was refused. However, a single 2-g dose of niclosamine proved to be ineffective treatment therapy, as did 100 mg orally of mebendazole twice a day for three days. If diarrhea recurs, general supplements must also be provided in order to maintain electrolyte balance and meet nutritional requirements.

Famous quotes containing the words management and/or therapy:
“No officer should be required or permitted to take part in the management of political organizations, caucuses, conventions, or election campaigns. Their right to vote and to express their views on public questions, either orally or through the press, is not denied, provided it does not interfere with the discharge of their official duties. No assessment for political purposes on officers or subordinates should be allowed.”
