NEMOCID contains pyrantel pamoate, an anthelmintic agent with activity against several intestinal nematodes. Pyrantel is minimally absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, so its primary action occurs within the intestinal lumen.

Research and clinical experience:
Pyrantel is a well-established anthelmintic that has been used clinically for many years. Its effectiveness in enterobiasis and ascariasis has been supported by clinical studies and extensive clinical experience in different countries. The drug has predominantly local activity in the intestinal tract with low systemic absorption. In enterobiasis, hygiene measures are an important part of treatment, and treatment of household contacts may be considered according to medical recommendations.
NEMOCID is used for the treatment of certain intestinal helminth infections caused by nematodes susceptible to pyrantel.
Main indications include:
Pyrantel acts on the neuromuscular system of susceptible parasites, causing paralysis and facilitating their elimination from the gastrointestinal tract.
The tablets are taken orally. The appropriate dose and duration of treatment depend on the type of parasitic infection, the patient's age, and body weight, and the medication should therefore be used according to the product instructions and medical advice. For enterobiasis, repeat treatment after a specified interval may be necessary because pyrantel does not reliably eliminate parasite eggs; the need for repeat treatment should be determined by a healthcare professional. Careful hand, clothing, bedding, and household hygiene is particularly important during treatment for pinworm infection to reduce the risk of reinfection.
