AB  - Antihelminthic  drugs  have  diverse  chemical  structures,  mechanisms  of  action,  and  properties.  Many  act  against  specific  parasites,  and  few  are  devoid  of  significant  toxicity  to  host  cells.  In  addition  to  the  direct  toxicity  of  the  drugs,  reactions  to  dead  and  dying  parasites  may  cause  serious  toxicity  in  patients.  In  the  text  that  follows,  the  drugs  are  divided  into  3  groups  on  the  basis  of  the  type  of  helminth  primarily  affected  (nematodes,  trematodes,  and  cestodes).  The  drugs  of  choice  and  alternative  agents  for  selected  important  helminthic  infections  are  listed  in  Table  53–1.
