Adults and children over 12 years take one tablet three times daily for one month. Thereafter repeat at least every 3 - 4 months. If symptoms persist seek the advice of your health professional.

"Is there a way to prevent parasitic infection?"
It is impossible to avoid all situations that could lead to parasitic infection. You may wish to take the following precautions that can help:
Drink clean, pure water. Chlorination does not kill all parasites. It is advisable to filter all drinking water.
Always wash fresh produce carefully, especially vegetables.
Wash your hands thoroughly before preparing or eating food and after using the toilet.
If you eat animal meat, ensure that it is cooked thoroughly.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle to guard against parasites. A consistently poor diet can promote poor intestinal health, creating the perfect environment for parasites to thrive.
