Abstract

The aim of the study – to determine the effectiveness of the herbal medication in a form of syrup in treatment of parasitosis in children at different age groups with the comorbid pathology of a digestive system.

Among the comorbid pathology of a digestive system in most of patients, the functional disorders of a hepatobiliary system such as gall bladder dysfunction and Oddi’s sphincter dysfunction were diagnosed.

Clinical efficacy of the herbal medication at parasitosis in children of different age groups with the comorbid pathology of a digestive system’s has been proven during research, as well as expediency and safety of its use at this pathology.
