Indication:
albendazole exhibits vermicidal, ovicidal and larvicidal activity. The drug is thought to exert its anthelmintic effect by blocking glucose uptake in susceptible helminths, therby depleting the energy level until it becomes inadequate for survival. Immobilisation is followed by death of the parasite.
