PHARMACOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS. АТСvet QP52А, anti-distomiasis drugs (АТСvet QP52AС11, albendazole)

The active ingredient of the drug – albendazole – methyl [5-(propilsulfanil)-1n-benzimidazole-2-il] carbamate be­longs to the group of benzimidazole. Albendazole exhibits larvicidal, ovicidal and vermicidal activity, and is thought to exert its anthelmintic effect by inhibiting tubulin polymerization. This causes a cascade of metabolism disruption, including energy depletion, which immobilizes then kills the susceptible helminth.
