Description
Overview
Albus 400 MG Tablet is an anthelmintic medication used to treat parasitic worm infections. It is particularly effective for managing specific tapeworm infections, including neurocysticercosis and hydatid disease.
Key Ingredient (Composition)

How It Works
Albus 400 MG Tablet contains albendazole, which works by inhibiting the polymerization of tubulin in parasitic larvae. This process is critical for forming cytoplasmic microtubules, structures that are essential for the parasites’ cellular function. By blocking this process, albendazole prevents the parasites from absorbing glucose, depriving them of energy and inhibiting their growth and survival.
