Medicine Description flub 100mg
flub 100mg tablets is a medication that acts as an anthelmintic, primarily targeting nematodes and cestodes. Its primary mechanism involves the disruption of the parasite's energy metabolism. Flubendazole interferes with the function of microtubules, which are essential for cellular structure and division. By binding to tubulin, the protein that forms microtubules, flubendazole inhibits their polymerization, leading to impaired cellular transport and division. This ultimately prevents the parasites from multiplying and forming new generations, effectively leading to their elimination from the host's body.
