Praziquantel is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic agent effective against trematodes (flukes) and cestodes (tapeworms). It acts by increasing cell membrane permeability in susceptible worms, leading to contraction, paralysis, and death of the parasite. Mediocon Inc manufactures Praziquantel API at its GMP-certified facility in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India.
