Biltricide (Praziquantel)

Biltricide (Praziquantel) Product Information

Biltricide is a prescription medication for treating infections triggered by liver flukes and schistosomes. It is therefore recommended for treatment of bilharziasis, snail fever and schistosomiasis. Also known as Praziquantel, Biltricide can be indicated for treating any other worm infections— except pinworms and roundworms infections.

Belonging to a group of medicines called anthelmintics, Biltricide causes powerful spasms and paralysis of some worm’s muscles. Additionally, it causes some other types of worms to be passed in the stool. Still, some worms are totally damaged in the intestines and cannot be spotted in the stool.
