Anthelmintic drugs belong to a class of medications utilized to eliminate worm infestations in the body. These drugs either kill or immobilize worms within the intestines, hindering their ability to attach to the intestinal wall. As a result, the worms are expelled from the body through the process of defecation.
Anthelmintic drugs may potentially cause side effects such as nausea, abdominal pain, skin rash, headache, and dizziness.
