How does the Drug work
◉Albendazole is an anti-parasitic medication that works by inhibiting the growth and reproduction of parasitic worms in the body. It acts by binding to the tubulin protein in the parasite’s cells, preventing the formation of microtubules which are necessary for cell division and growth. This causes the worm to stop growing and eventually die. Albendazole also disrupts the worm’s metabolism and impairs its ability to absorb nutrients, further weakening and killing the parasite. The recommended dose for treating parasitic infections is 200 mg, taken as a single dose or divided into two doses over a period of one day.
