Bendex Suspension contains albendazole (200 mg), which works on the body in the following ways:

• Inhibits β-tubulin polymerization: Albendazole attaches itself to a specific site in β-tubulin, a protein in worms. By doing this, it stops the formation of structures called microtubules that are necessary for the worm's energy production.

• Impairs glucose uptake: By inhibiting β-tubulin polymerization, albendazole also interferes with the parasite's ability to absorb glucose, its main source of energy. This leads to the depletion of its energy reserves.

• Shows larvicidal, ovicidal, and vermicidal activity: Albendazole is highly effective in killing worm larvae (larvicidal), eggs (ovicidal), and adult worms (vermicidal).

• Keep Bendex Suspension at room temperature in a cool, dry place.

• Keep the medicine bottle away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.

• Make sure the bottle stays tightly closed when not in use.

• Keep this medicine out of the reach of children.

• Check the expiration date on the package before use, and never take the medicine if it's past this date.

• As Bendex Suspension manages worm infections, maintaining good hygiene is essential. Always wash your hands with soap before meals and after using the toilet to avoid reinfection.

• Include garlic in your diet. It's known to have anti-parasitic properties, which can help manage worm infections.
