The most common treatment for tapeworm infection involves oral medications that are toxic to the adult tapeworm, including:
- Mebendazole 100mg is taken twice a day for three days, and the treatment can be repeated after 2-3 weeks or other drugs
- Praziquantel
- Nitazoxanide
Treatments for invasive infections
- Anti-inflammatory therapy such as prednisone or dexamethasone, to reduce inflammation.
