About Product
Albendazole is a broad-spectrum benzimidazole anthelmintic used to treat parasitic worm infections in humans and animals. It works by inhibiting microtubule synthesis in parasites, leading to their immobilization and death. Albendazole is widely used in the treatment of intestinal worms, including roundworms, tapeworms, and hookworms. It is an essential component of deworming programs worldwide and is also effective against systemic parasitic infections like neurocysticercosis and hydatid disease.
