How Does It Work?

• Albendazole inhibits the uptake of glucose by a parasite which causes energy deficit and death of the parasite.
• Ivermectin acts by increasing the permeability of the outer cell membrane of the parasite, which affects its muscle and nerve function leading to paralysis and death of the parasite.
• Albendazole and Ivermectin when combined, leads to better elimination of parasites.
