What is Pyrantel Pamoate
?
Pamoate powder is a medication used to treat a number of parasitic worm infections. This includes ascariasis, hookworm infections, enterobiasis (pinworm infection),trichostrongyliasis, and trichinellosis.

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 intes
tinal 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 obstr
uction is usually in the form of a worm impaction and happens when a very small, but heavily parasitized ani
mal is treated and tries to pass a large number of dislodged worms at once. Worms usually pass in normal st
ool or with diarrhea, straining, and occasional vomiting.
