Research Notes on Tapeworm Treatment
The most common treatment for a tapeworm is oral medications. These medications include praziquantel and albendazole. Niclosamide is a medication not found in the U.S., but it is also used for treatment of a tapeworm.1
Fast Facts:
- Oral medications are toxic to the tapeworm.1
- The medication prescribed depends on the type of tapeworm.1
- The medication attacks the adult tapeworm, not the eggs.1
- If the tapeworm has moved outside your intestines, then the doctor will prescribe an anti-inflammatory steroid to reduce swelling caused by the tapeworm.1
