Rationale: Step-by-step rationale for choosing Pyrantel for nematodosis treatment: 1. Pyrantel is a well-known anthelmintic drug effective against roundworms. 2. It works by causing paralysis in the worms, leading to their expulsion from the body. 3. Pyrantel is commonly used to treat various nematode infections in humans. 4.
