Introduction

This medicine is a combination of two active ingredients: Albendazole (400mg) and Ivermectin (6mg). It is an antiparasitic medication used to treat various worm and parasitic infections. This combination works by targeting different types of parasites simultaneously, making it effective against multiple infections at once.

Uses

This combination is used to treat: - Intestinal worm infections (roundworms, hookworms, threadworms) - Tissue parasites - Filarial infections - Strongyloidiasis - Onchocerciasis (river blindness) - Lymphatic filariasis - Other mixed parasitic infections as prescribed by your doctor

Benefits

The combination provides comprehensive treatment against multiple types of parasites with a single medication. Albendazole targets intestinal and tissue worms, while Ivermectin works against external and internal parasites. This dual action helps eliminate infections more effectively, reduces the need for multiple medications, and helps prevent reinfection when used as directed.

Side effects

Common side effects include: - Nausea, vomiting, or stomach discomfort - Headache or dizziness - Mild fever - Fatigue or weakness - Diarrhea - Temporary increase in liver enzymes Most side effects are mild and temporary. However, contact your doctor if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, vision changes, confusion, or signs of allergic reaction.

How to use

Take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is usually taken as a single dose or as directed. Swallow the tablet whole with water, preferably on an empty stomach or as advised. For better results, take it at the same time if multiple doses are prescribed. Do not crush or chew the tablet. Always follow your doctor's or pharmacist's instructions regarding dosage and duration.

How it works

Albendazole works by preventing parasites from absorbing essential nutrients like glucose, causing them to lose energy and eventually die. Ivermectin paralyzes and kills parasites by affecting their nervous system and muscle function. Together, they provide comprehensive action against various internal and external parasites, helping your body eliminate the infection naturally.
