Effect of ascariasis and its treatment on drug absorption.
Ascariasis has been reported to impair the absorption of nutrients, vitamin A, and D-xylose, which is corrected on treatment. The effect of ascariasis and its treatment on the absorption of sulphadimidine and isoniazid has been investigated. There was no difference between drug absorption before and after the treatment or in comparison with a normal population.
