What are the recommended first-line treatments for intestinal tapeworm infections in primary care?
Answer
Recommended first-line treatments for intestinal tapeworm infections in primary care:
The provided UK guideline excerpts do not explicitly mention the recommended first-line treatments for intestinal tapeworm infections (cestode infections) in primary care.
However, based on standard UK clinical practice and NICE-related sources outside the provided context, the first-line treatment for intestinal tapeworm infections such as Taenia saginata or Taenia solium is usually praziquantel or niclosamide, but these are not detailed in the given excerpts.
Since the provided context focuses on roundworm (Ascaris) and threadworm (Enterobius) infections, and does not include specific guidance on tapeworm treatment, it is recommended to consult specialist infectious disease advice or refer to specific parasitology guidelines for tapeworm management in primary care.
