Praziquantel – a compound of the pyrazinisoquinoline group, active against cestodes, increases the permeability of helminth cell membranes for calcium ions, causes a generalized contraction of the parasite’s muscles, which turns into permanent paralysis, which leads to the death of helminths. After oral administration of the drug, praziquantel is well absorbed in the intestine, reaching a maximum concentration in the blood after 1-4 hours, binds to plasma proteins (up to 80%), undergoes biotransformation in the liver with the formation of inactive mono- and polyhydroxylated metabolites. It is excreted from the body mainly with urine, and in small quantities with feces.
