Aniprazol is effective to treat: is a medication used to treat a variety of parasites like roundworms, hookworms, lungworm, whipworm, and certain types of tapeworms Ivermectin is effective for treating both external and internal parasites like demodectic mange, scabies, ear mites, hookworms, roundworms and capilliara. There is no one dewormer that will kill every single parasite. What product you use depends on what you are trying to treat.
