Description
Albendazole is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic medicine used for the treatment of intestinal and tissue parasitic infections. It is effective against a wide range of worms and certain protozoa.
Albendazole works by inhibiting tubulin polymerization in parasites, which disrupts their metabolism and energy production. This leads to immobilization and eventual death of the parasites. It has vermicide, ovacidal, and larvacidal activity, meaning it can kill adult worms, eggs, and larvae.
Due to its effectiveness, Albendazole is commonly prescribed for various helminth infections affecting both adults and children.
