Summary
Antiparasitic agents are drugs used to treat infestations of parasites in the body. This includes skin conditions, such as infestations with scabies, head lice, pubic lice and “creeping eruption.” Parasites are organisms that survive by living on and feeding from a host. These medications work by either paralyzing parasites or by killing them outright.
Antiparasitic agents are usually well-tolerated by patients and cause few side effects. Adverse reactions that do occur tend to be minor, such as skin irritation. Most people can use these drugs safely and effectively regardless of any other medical conditions they might have.
Antiparasitic agents are available in the form of pills, creams, lotions and shampoos. Some of these drugs are available in over-the-counter formulations, whereas others can only be obtained with a physician’s prescription.
About antiparasitic agents
Antiparasitic agents are medications used to treat conditions that occur when parasites infest the body. Parasites survive by living on and feeding off a host. There are many different types of antiparasitic agents, including several that are used to treat skin conditions, such as scabies, head lice, pubic lice and “creeping eruption.”
These medications work by either paralyzing parasites or by killing them outright. They are available in the form of pills, creams, lotions and shampoos. Some of these drugs are available in over-the-counter formulations, whereas others can only be obtained through a physician’s prescription.
Many of these drugs require patients to cover their entire bodies with a lotion or cream, paying particular attention to ensuring that the medicine covers skin folds, creases and the areas between the fingers and toes. The medication must also be applied under the fingernails and to the scalp (as long as it is not already inflamed). Topical antiparasitic agents should not be applied to the face.
Repeat applications may be necessary with some medications.
