Biltricide (active ingredient: praziquantel) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Parasitic Infections: Biltricide is used for the treatment of infections caused by parasitic worms, specifically schistosomiasis (caused by Schistosoma species) and liver flukes (such as Fasciola species).

Biltricide belongs to a class of drugs known as anthelmintics, which work by causing severe spasms and paralysis of the worms, leading to their eventual death and elimination from the body.

Biltricide is a tablet that is taken orally with a meal as directed by your doctor. The tablet is usually taken three times a day, 4 to 6 hours apart, for one day.

Your doctor may adjust the dosage to take this medication fewer than 3 times a day or to take it for longer than 1 day. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. If you have difficulty swallowing the tablets, you may crush the medication and mix it in soft foods or liquids, but the mixture should be taken within 1 hour of mixing.
