Treatment
Seek expert advice.
- praziquantel is the drug of choice - single oral dose
- metrifonate is a cheaper but less effective drug - it is also more complicated to administer, requiring three oral doses at two weekly intervals
- effectiveness of treatment should be followed-up - surgery may be necessary to preserve renal function
