Albendazole Oral Suspension 200 mg per 5ml
Albendazole is a broad-spectrum benzimidazole anthelmintic on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. It acts by binding to helminth tubulin, inhibiting microtubule polymerization, and depleting glycogen reserves, leading to energy depletion and immobilization of parasites. Indicated for single and mixed nematode infestations (roundworm, hookworm, whipworm, pinworm), strongyloidiasis, neurocysticercosis (Taenia solium tapeworm larvae), and hydatid disease (Echinococcus granulosus).
Albendazole 400mg + Ivermectin 6mg Tablets
Albendazole and Ivermectin is a synergistic broad-spectrum anthelmintic combination. Albendazole binds to helminth tubulin, blocking microtubule assembly and depleting glycogen stores, while ivermectin selectively binds glutamate-gated chloride ion channels in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells, increasing membrane permeability and causing flaccid paralysis of the parasite. Indicated for mixed intestinal helminthiasis, lymphatic filariasis, strongyloidiasis, enterobiasis (pinworm), ascariasis (roundworm), and hookworm infections.
