YOMESAN®
SCHEDULING STATUS:
Not scheduled
PROPRIETARY NAME
(and dosage form):
YOMESAN
®
Tablets
COMPOSITION:
Each tablet contains 500 mg
niclosamide
.
PHARMACOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION:
A. 12 Anthelmintics.
PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION:
Yomesan expels the cestodes from the intestine. No effect can therefore be expected in cysticercosis and echinococcosis
due to cestode larvae (cysticerci) lodging in extra-intestinal tissue.
INDICATIONS:
Infections with:
Taenia saginata (beef tapeworm)
Taenia solium (pork tapeworm)
Diphyllobothrium latum (fish tapeworm)
Hymenolepis nana (dwarf tapeworm).
CONTRA-INDICATIONS:
Hypersensitivity to niclosamide.
Yomesan may be given safely after the first three months of pregnancy, and to patients with liver, biliary and kidney
diseases.
DOSAGE AND DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Yomesan tablets are taken after breakfast. It is very important that the palatable tablets are thoroughly chewed and then
washed down with a little water. The tablets may also be taken disintegrated in a little water. For small children it is
advisable to grind the tablets as finely as possible and mix the powder with a little water. If constipated, thorough
cleansing of the bowels is necessary before treatment. Dietetic measures are not necessary.
In infestation with beef tapeworm (T. saginata), pork tapeworm (T. solium) and fish tapeworm (D. latum) one single dose
is sufficient.
Adults and children from 6 years upwards - 4 tablets
Children from 2-6 years
- 2 tablets
Children under 2 years
- 1 tablet
A drastic saline purge (e.g. sodium sulphate, magnesium sulphate), given two hours after the Yomesan dose should ensure
a rapid and complete expulsion of the worm. Without purgation, the parasite is excreted in pieces during the next few
days. In the case of Taenia solium, a drastic purge is imperative.
