Miscelleneous
How it works
Albendazole works by disrupting certain vital functions in the worm's body. This drains the worm's energy and eventually kills it. Ivermectin paralyzes the parasite; this results in the eventual death of the parasite. Their combination is thus better effective for the treatment of infections caused by worms.
