Mechanism of Action

The micronized Albendazole in Bendex Suspension exerts its anthelmintic effect through:
• Inhibition of parasite glucose uptake
• Depletion of glycogen stores

This multi-targeted approach leads to parasite immobilization, death, and subsequent elimination from the gastrointestinal tract.
