Hello, thanks for your contact to healthcaremagic. If I am your treating doctor I would like to tell you that relapse after the treatment of beef tape worm is very common. Standard treatment is niclosemide and praziquental. Because of relapse new drug like nitrozaxide is launched, you can try for it. Also stop beef eating for some times while on treatment. If you want to ask me anything you can ask me. Dr. Arun Tank. Infectious disease specialist.
