Key points
- Parasites causing human disease include single celled protozoa, helminths such as roundworms and flukes, and ectoparasites such as scabies mites, so treatment differs by organism type.
- Malaria treatment depends on a confirmed diagnosis and the parasite species involved, following World Health Organization guidance rather than a single fixed regimen.
- Worm infections, medically called helminthiasis, are treated with benzimidazole or macrocyclic lactone ingredients, which are chemically distinct from the aminoquinolines used against malaria.
- Malaria medicines make up only one part of this category, which also spans helminth and ectoparasite treatments using entirely different ingredients.
Antimalarial, anthelmintic and scabies medicines
Chloroquine Tablets, primaquine tablets and Lariam, which contains mefloquine, make up the core malaria group in this range, chosen against a confirmed parasite species rather than a single default drug. Hsquin contains hydroxychloroquine, which the catalogue also lists against Rheumatoid Arthritis and other autoimmune uses alongside malaria, so the same ingredient serves two very different purposes.
Stromectol contains Ivermectin, Albenza contains albendazole and Biltricide contains praziquantel, three separate ingredient families used against different helminths (worms) and fluke infections. Dicaris and Dicaris Children both contain Levamisole for roundworm and hookworm infections, while Fenbendazole Capsules cover a broader helminthiasis indication.
Acticin is a permethrin cream and Eurax is a crotamiton cream, both applied to the skin for scabies rather than swallowed as tablets, so route is what separates this ectoparasite treatment from the malaria and worm medicines above.
