NICLOSAMIDE

Niclosamide is a medication used to treat infections caused by tapeworms. This drug works by killing the tapeworms and then eliminating them through the stool.

How does Niclosamide work? Niclosamide works by preventing tapeworms from absorbing glucose, a type of sugar that the worms need to survive. This leads to the death of the tapeworms, which are then expelled from the body through the stool.
