    Drugs for parasitic infections can vary widely depending on the type of parasite:

    • Antimalarials: Chloroquine, artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs), and others used to treat malaria.
    • Antiprotozoal drugs: Metronidazole is used against protozoa like Giardia and Entamoeba.
    • Antihelminthic drugs: Albendazole and mebendazole are used to treat intestinal worm infections. Ivermectin is used for diseases such as onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis.
