Prazijol 600 mg Tablet 4's belongs to the class of medicines called anthelmintics used to treat infections due to Schistosoma and liver fluke. Schistosomiasis, also known as snail fever, Katayama fever, and bilharzia, is a disease caused by infection with freshwater parasitic flatworms called schistosomes. Liver fluke infection is caused by parasitic worms called liver flukes after eating contaminated raw or uncooked watercress or freshwater fish.
Prazijol 600 mg Tablet 4's contains ‘Praziquantel’, which kills the parasites by paralysing the worms. This causes the worms to release their hold on the blood vessels. It also stops the parasite from absorbing sugars. The parasite then disintegrates with the help of white blood cells and passes out of the body. Thereby, Prazijol 600 mg Tablet 4's helps treat schistosomiasis and liver fluke infections.
