what kind of worms does pyrantel pamoate kill?
parasitic
another medication administered to kill worm infections has been pyrantel pamoate. for some parasitic diseases, there is no treatment and, in the case of serious symptoms, medication intended to kill the parasite is administered, whereas, in other cases, symptom relief options are used. recent papers have also proposed the use of viruses to treat infections caused by protozoa.

parasitic disease
pyrantel pamoate acts as a depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent, thereby causing sudden contraction, followed by paralysis, of the helminths. this has the result of causing the worm to "lose its grip" on the intestinal wall and be passed out of the system by natural process. since pyrantel is poorly absorbed by the host's intestine, the host is unaffected by the small dosage of medication used. spastic (tetanic) paralyzing agents, in particular pyrantel pamoate, may induce complete intestinal obstruction in a heavy worm load. this obstruction is usually in the form of a worm impaction and happens when a very small, but heavily parasitized animal is treated and tries to pass a large number of dislodged worms at once. worms usually pass in normal stool or with diarrhea, straining, and occasional vomiting.
