default
Posted on Mon, 10 Apr 2017
Question: What is the best way to treat multiple fluke infections and considered to be a heavy infection compared to mild or moderate? And, can one obtain Triclabendazole for this in the US since it is the firstline choice in Europe? Also, some doctors use Albendazole with Prazi to increase effectiveness. And, to take the drugs with a fatty meal to increase the amount absorbed. How long is treatment for and how many times repeated? Thank you
