What Is Toxoplasmosis?
10. Treatment
Toxoplasmosis won’t usually need to be treated. The patient will often be asked to rest up and take on plenty of water, although they will likely be advised to call a doctor if their symptoms significantly worsen. Medication will be prescribed in some cases, however.
Pyrimethamine may be prescribed, which is a drug typically used to treat malaria, which is also caused by a type of parasite. Sulfadiazine, which is a type of antibiotic, may also be prescribed. Unborn babies will also need to be treated, and this will be achieved with the help of a combination of anti-parasitic medications and antibiotics.
