Summary The principle of effective broad-spectrum anthelmintic activity against human intestinal nematode infections has been demonstrated by the therapeutic results obtained with dithiazanine. In proper dosage, this polyvermicide is therapeutic for trichuriasis, strongyloidiasis, ascariasis and enterobiasis. The drug has only moderate anthelmintic activity against the hookworm,Necator americanus. It fills a need for a therapeutic for trichuriasis and strongyloidiasis. Dithiazanine is useful for the treatment of patients with either single or multiple intestinal helminthic infections. The indications for use of dithiazanine iodide are: 1. Trishuriasis 2. Strongyloidiasis 3. Mixed infections with trichuriasis and ascariasis 4. Other mixed infections with intestinal nematodes when either trichuriasis or strongyloidiasis is present.
