Pharmacology of Anthelmintics

  • Chapter
Chemotherapy of Gastrointestinal Helminths

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 77))

Abstract

As noted in the different chapters of this volume, most infections due to worms living in the gastrointestinal tract can now be cured by anthelmintics. In general these drugs can be divided into four classes: herbal preparations, inorganic and metallorganic compounds, “antibiotics,” and synthetic organic compounds.
