Yomesan 500 mg is an antiparasitic medication used for the treatment of intestinal tapeworm infections. It contains niclosamide, an active substance that acts directly in the intestinal lumen to destroy adult tapeworms, allowing them to be eliminated naturally from the body. Niclosamide is not absorbed into the bloodstream, which makes Yomesan suitable for localized intestinal treatmentwithout systemic exposure.
