Does Meclizine Help In Deworming Adult Human System?

Does anyone know if meclizine 25mg tabs will work as a deworming agent in an adult human system? I found that our cat has worms and I am deworming our family :o) yipee. I recently fainted, hit my head, and have positional vertigo and was prescribed the meclizine. I found that the meclizine and the dewormer for the cat have the same ingredient, piperazine. Any help is appreciated!

Hello,

Meclizine uses for vertigo not for deworming. Piperazine is useful for deworming.
