Summary 3.18 Antihelmintics

Chapter 3.18 covers antihelmintics, medications used to treat parasitic worm infections such as roundworms and flatworms. These drugs work by preventing glucose uptake or blocking neuronal transmission, leading to parasite paralysis and death. Prolonged use may cause liver damage and bone marrow suppression.
