Managing the Side Effects:

Albend 6/400 MG Tablet 1 contains two active components:

Albendazole (400 mg): It belongs to the benzimidazole class of anthelmintic agents. Albendazole binds to specific parts of a protein called tubulin inside the worms. The binding inhibits the formation of structures called microtubules that are essential for worm survival, leading to their death.
Ivermectin (6 mg): It belongs to the avermectin class of medication. It attaches itself to specific channels on worms' nerve and muscle cells, causing an imbalance in electrical charge. This leads to paralysis and eventual death of the parasite.
