ALBERMECTIN
Overview:
Albermectin is a dual-action antiparasitic formulation combining Ivermectin (12mg) and Albendazole (400mg) for the effective treatment of parasitic infections. This powerful combination targets a wide range of helminths and ectoparasites, making it an ideal choice for deworming, treating filariasis, and addressing mixed parasitic infections.Ivermectin works by paralyzing and eliminating parasites through its action on their nervous system.
Albendazole is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic, disrupting parasite metabolism and preventing their growth and reproduction.
Albermectin is widely used in mass deworming programs, as well as for treating conditions like intestinal nematode infections, filariasis, strongyloidiasis, and scabies
