ALBENDAZOLE 400mg + IVERMECTIN 6 MG CHEWABLE TABLET
Uses:-
This combination medication is used for the treatment of various parasitic infections in humans. Albendazole is an anthelmintic drug that works by interfering with the metabolism of parasites, leading to their immobilization and eventual death. It is effective against a wide range of parasitic worms, including roundworms, tapeworms, and hookworms. Ivermectin is also an anthelmintic agent that works by paralyzing and killing parasites. It is particularly effective against certain types of mites and lice. Together, these medications provide broad-spectrum coverage against parasitic infections, helping to eliminate the infestation and alleviate associated symptoms.

However, serious side effects such as allergic reactions, liver toxicity, neurological effects (such as seizures or dizziness), and changes in vision may occur rarely but require immediate medical attention. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about any pre-existing medical conditions or medications you are taking before starting treatment with albendazole and ivermectin. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use this medication with caution under medical supervision, as it may pose risks to the developing fetus or nursing infant.

It is commonly prescribed for individuals living in or traveling to areas where parasitic infections are endemic.
