Albendazole Tablets

Active Ingredients: Albendazole

Albendazole Tablets are a drug used to treat various parasite infections, like cystic hydatid disease or neurocysticercosis. It is sometimes used alongside other medications, like corticosteroids, to treat certain conditions. In the case of hydatid disease, it may be used alongside surgery.

Albendazole belongs to the drug class called benzimidazole anthelmintics. It exhibits broad-spectrum action against many varieties of worms, such as roundworms, tapeworms, and flukes of domestic animals and humans. The active ingredient works by inhibiting tubulin polymerization. As an effect, the worm's ability to utilize glucose is impaired, which results in immobilization and death.

Albendazole kills the worms, but eggs can survive a few weeks after treatment, so treatment may need to be repeated.
