Product Description
Albendazole is a broad-spectrum antiparasitic medication used to treat a variety of worm infestations, including roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms, and whipworms. It works by inhibiting the parasites ability to absorb glucose, which leads to energy depletion and death of the parasite. Commonly prescribed for conditions like neurocysticercosis and hydatid disease, albendazole is available in tablet and suspension forms. It is usually taken with food to increase absorption. Side effects can include nausea, abdominal pain, and dizziness, with rare cases of liver enzyme elevation. Albendazole is generally safe when used as directed and is an essential medicine in many global health programs.
