About Praziquantel
Praziquantel is the main medicine used to treat schistosomiasis — known in Nigeria as bilharzia — one of the most common parasitic diseases in the country. Schistosomiasis is caught from contact with fresh water (rivers, streams, dams, and ponds) that contains the tiny larvae of blood flukes, which burrow through the skin during swimming, fishing, farming, or fetching water. Praziquantel is also used against tapeworms and other flatworm infections.
