How Does It Work?

• Evimectin A tablet is a combination of albendazole and ivermectin as active substances.
• 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, lead to better elimination of parasites.
