Stomach Pain, Rectal Bleeding, High Cholesterol, Tapeworm. Preva Effective?
Hi, Preva is the brand name for the generic drug Clopidogrel. It is a blood thinning drug. It is not used to treat tapeworm infection. If tapeworm infection is confirmed through stool examination, the mos common treatment is praziquantel. Keeping a good hygiene especially when preparing food and cooking meat well are important as preventive measures. Hope it helped! Dr.Albana
