How ABD 400mg Tablet Works

Albendazole interferes with the way worms absorb and use nutrients. Without an adequate energy supply, the parasites become weakened and die, allowing them to be removed from the body through normal bowel movements.

The medicine acts against susceptible parasitic worms rather than treating bacterial or viral infections. The exact effect and treatment plan can depend on the type of worm infection, its severity, and the person being treated.
