Clinical Overview
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.

Usage Guidelines
Take orally, thoroughly chewed or crushed, taken with a meal containing fat (e.g. milk, butter, or oil) to enhance drug absorption. Often given as a single stat dose. Repeat after 2-3 weeks only if specifically prescribed.
General Administration Advice: Adhere strictly to the prescribed dosage, frequency, and treatment course. For oral medications, swallow with sufficient water. Never stop antibiotics, psychiatric medications, or antihypertensives abruptly without clinical direction.
Possible Side Effects
Common: Abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, mild fever. Rare/Severe: Mazzotti reaction (systemic reaction due to dying microfilariae including rash, lymphadenopathy, hypotension), transient elevation of liver enzymes, and leukopenia.
*Note: Individual physiological responses vary. While many patients experience few or no side effects, notify your treating physician if adverse reactions persist or if hypersensitivity (angioedema, skin rash, dyspnea) occurs.
Precautions & Warnings
Contraindicated in pregnancy (teratogenic risk; pregnancy must be excluded before use). Avoid during lactation. Caution in patients with pre-existing hepatic impairment or severe asthma.

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).
Ivermectin Dispersible Tablets 12 mg
Ivermectin is an antiparasitic macrocyclic lactone derived from Streptomyces avermitilis. It binds with high affinity to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels found exclusively in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells, leading to increased chloride permeability, hyperpolarization, paralysis, and death of the parasite. Indicated for strongyloidiasis, onchocerciasis (river blindness), scabies (crusted or refractory), cutaneous larva migrans, and lymphatic filariasis (in combination with albendazole or DEC).
Albendazole Tablets 400mg
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).
