ABD 400 (Albendazole)

Product Overview

ABD 400 is a medication containing the active ingredient Albendazole, formulated as tablets. Albendazole belongs to a class of drugs known as anthelmintics, which are used to treat parasitic infections. ABD 400 is specifically designed to target a wide range of parasitic worms, helping to eliminate them from the body and alleviate associated symptoms.

Uses

ABD 400 tablets are primarily used to treat various parasitic infections, including neurocysticercosis, hydatid disease, and other types of worm infestations. It is effective against both larval and adult stages of parasitic worms, making it a versatile treatment option for a variety of infections. ABD 400 works by interfering with the metabolism of the parasite, ultimately leading to its death and expulsion from the body.

How to Use

ABD 400 tablets should be taken orally with food to maximize absorption and minimize gastrointestinal side effects. The dosage and duration of treatment may vary depending on the type and severity of the parasitic infection. It is important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider carefully. If you have difficulty swallowing the tablets whole, they can be crushed or chewed before swallowing.

How it Works

Albendazole, the active ingredient in ABD 400, works by inhibiting the uptake of glucose by the parasite, leading to depletion of glycogen stores and impaired ATP production. This disrupts the parasite’s energy metabolism, ultimately causing its death. Additionally, Albendazole interferes with microtubule formation in the parasite, disrupting its cellular structure and function. As a result, the parasite is unable to survive and reproduce, leading to its elimination from the body.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of ABD 400 varies depending on the type of parasitic infection being treated. It is typically taken as a single daily dose, with or without food. The duration of treatment may range from a few days to several weeks, depending on the severity of the infection and the response to therapy. It is important to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your doctor, even if you start to feel better before the medication is finished.
