Treatment of Trichinosis
Albendazoleormebendazole(antiparasitic drugs that eliminate adult worms) For muscle pain, analgesics For severe infections, corticosteroids Albendazoleormebendazole, taken by mouth, eliminates the adult worms from the intestine but has little effect on the cysts in muscle. Analgesics (such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs) help relieve muscle pain. Corticosteroids (such asprednisone) may be prescribed to reduce inflammation in severe infection. Most people with trichinosis recover fully.
