Composition
Each tablet contains 500 mg niclosamide.
Pharmacological Classification
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.[1]
