Tapeworms can be easily killed with anthelmintic drugs, including praziquantel, albendazole, and nitazoxanide. These drugs kill the tapeworm but not the eggs, so its important to wash your hands well with soap and water after using the toilet to prevent the spread of tapeworm eggs. After completing treatment, a follow-up stool sample is usually taken to ensure the infection has cleared. In addition to medication, there are some natural remedies that can help get rid of tapeworms, such as garlic, raw papaya juice, neem, and turmeric. However, there is a lack of research to support the use of home treatments for tapeworms, and its important to consult a healthcare provider before trying any natural remedies. To prevent tapeworm infections, its important to maintain hygiene, cook meat to a temperature of at least 150°F (66°C), and freeze fish and meat for at least 7 days before consuming them.
