About Albomar Suspension
Albomar Suspension belongs to a group of drugs called 'anthelmintic' used to treat parasitic worm infections, such as neurocysticercosis (an infection caused by the pork tapeworm) and cystic hydatid disease (an infection caused by the dog tapeworm). Additionally, Albomar Suspension is also used to treat infections caused by roundworms, hookworms, threadworms, whipworms, pinworms, flukes, and other parasites.
Albomar Suspension contains 'Albendazole', which works by inhibiting tubulin polymerisation. This causes metabolic disruption and energy depletion in the parasite, which leads to its immobilisation. Thereby, Albomar Suspension kills the susceptible helminth and treats the infection.
