[The initial experience with embovin treatment in a a focus of intestinal nematode infections in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam].

Abstract

Comparative trials of pirantel analogs--combatrin (Pfizer, Philippines) and embovin (Russia) were carried out in a hyperendemic focus of intestinal nematodoses in Vietnam. The drugs were prescribed in a single dose of 10 mg/kg. No significant differences in the efficacies of the drugs were revealed: combatrin and embovin efficacies in ascariasis were 94.3 and 98.0%, respectively (p > 0.05), in ankylostomiasis 76.3 and 58.3%, respectively (p > 0.05).
