How ALBENX-L Works
Albendazole belongs to the benzimidazole class of anthelmintic medicines. It interferes with processes that parasites need for survival, which helps eliminate susceptible worms.
At the same time, Ivermectin affects the nerve and muscle activity of susceptible parasites. This action can help immobilize and eliminate them.
As a result, the two medicines provide complementary antiparasitic activity. However, the exact treatment depends on the type of infection and medical advice.
