Our catalogue identifies Niclobest as a niclosamide 500 mg tablet and names Kachhela Medex as manufacturer. These are catalogue details, not independent pack authentication or proof of Australian approval. Updated 29 October 2026.
What is niclosamide used for?
Niclosamide is one treatment option for intestinal tapeworm infection (taeniasis). It is not a general treatment for every parasite or cause of diarrhoea.
Why should a suspected tapeworm be assessed?
Diagnosis may involve stool tests and identification of the parasite. A clinician should select treatment and arrange follow-up rather than relying on symptoms alone.
Is intestinal tapeworm the same as cysticercosis?
No. Cysticercosis involves larval infection in tissues; brain involvement needs specialist management. Do not apply an intestinal-tapeworm regimen to neurological symptoms.
Are all niclosamide brands interchangeable?
An ingredient name alone does not establish this. Check the strength, formulation, manufacturer’s leaflet and your prescription with a pharmacist.
What about pregnancy, breastfeeding or children?
Discuss these circumstances with a qualified clinician. CDC notes limited pregnancy and breastfeeding data; a general FAQ cannot choose an individual course.
How can I check Niclobest information?
Ask for the original package and manufacturer’s leaflet. The catalogue entry cannot replace those documents. For ingredient-level background, use the official sources below.
