Product Details

Mesan Tab 500mg is an effective anthelmintic medication used to treat intestinal tapeworm infections. Each tablet contains 500mg of Niclosamide, a well-known active ingredient that targets and eliminates parasitic worms (cestodes) from the digestive tract. Mesan works locally within the intestine to expel tapeworms without being absorbed into the bloodstream, ensuring a targeted approach to treating parasitic infections.

Purposes

Mesan 500mg Tablets are specifically formulated for the treatment of infections caused by various types of tapeworms, including Taenia saginata (beef tapeworm), Taenia solium (pork tapeworm), Diphyllobothrium latum (fish tapeworm), and Hymenolepis nana (dwarf tapeworm). Mesan's targeted action within the intestinal tract helps expel these parasites effectively. However, it is not effective against larval infections, such as cysticercosis and echinococcosis, where the tapeworm larvae are lodged in tissues outside the intestines.

Additionally, this medication is not intended for use in treating cysticercosis or other larval infections that are present outside the intestinal tract.
