Article: Filariasis

Section: Treatment

Article URL: Filariasis, https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Filariasis

In the treatment section of the article, I would like to specify how there are three medical treatments: diethylcarbamazine, albendazole, and ivermectin^[1]. Depending on how in depth I want to go into it, I can then discuss how each treatment is implemented and discuss further details behind the treatments. The article does not discuss any of the side effects that the treatments cause, and some of which can be rather severe. I would like to go into detail on some of the side effects of these treatments, such as head aches and nausea and vomiting^[1]. Next, I would address the sentence that states that the medications are to "no effect on the adult worms". This sentence does not provide any sources to support that information, and during my research I have in fact found multiple sources that state of the treatments killing the adult worms^[2]^[1].
