What is Niclosamide used for?

Yomesan is primarily used to treat intestinal tapeworm infections caused by species like Taenia saginata and Diphyllobothrium latum. It may also be prescribed for other tapeworm-related conditions as determined by a healthcare provider. This medication targets parasites in the gut without affecting human tissues.
