Hello
This is a very interesting case and you will get complete cure .
No doubt praziquantel is the drug of choice but in few case as I have noted it is not effective at all ,but why I don't know , it is a matter of discussion.
Any how , the drug of choice is NICLOSAMIDE for your case .
This is a safe drug and you may feel only mild degree nausea .
Do as :
Low residue die , whole day before and complete fasting OVERNIGHT .
Now early in the morning 2 tablets of 1 gm each are given in the morningon empty stomach.
The tablets should be chewed in order to ensure a through mixing of the drugs with intestinal contents .
Now after ONE hour another 1 gm is given .
A saline ENEMA after 2 hour of 2nd dose .
If you don't like ENEMA , on previous day take laxative tablet .
Sit on the sheath of because it will take at least 2-3 hours for complete evacuation of tapeworms as well as its eggs .
When tapeworms start passing ,don't BREAK in between .
All these things I have tried on many patients , so will get benefit.
If you don't understand any thing I will explain in detail.
I find this answer helpful
