Anthelmintics
A drug may be classified by the chemical type of the active ingredient or by the way it is used to treat a particular condition. Each drug can be classified into one or more drug classes.
Anthelmintics are agents used to eradicate intestinal worms (helminthes) from the body. Tapeworms, roundworms and flukes are classified as helminthes. Anthelmintics are effective in eradicating worms but proper hygiene is necessary to prevent re-infection. Washing hands properly before meals and after visiting the toilet is essential.
