Ivermectin

An antiparasitic drug effective against various internal and external parasites.

Albendazole

A broad-spectrum anthelmintic drug effective against a wide range of intestinal worms.

Treatment of soiltransmitted helminthiasis (e.g., ascariasis, trichuriasis, hookworm infection) in combination therapy.

Treatment of strongyloidiasis (threadworm infection) in combination therapy (effectiveness may vary depending on the species and the extent of infection).

Treatment of certain parasitic infections in animals (veterinary use only; human use requires specific prescription).

Ivermectin works by paralyzing and killing parasites, primarily through its effect on their neurotransmission. Albendazole interferes with the parasite's glucose metabolism, leading to their death. The combination provides a broader spectrum of efficacy against various parasites compared to using either drug alone.
