Piperazine hexahydrate is an anti-nematodal agent effective against the intestinal nematodes Ascaris Lumbricoides (roundworm) and Enterobius Vermicularis (pinworm, threadworm). It produces a neuromuscular block leading to flaccid muscle paralysis in susceptible worms, which are then dislodged from the gut and expelled in feces.
