Medicine Description fluben-100 100mg
Fluben 100 mg 30 ml Syrup is a medication that combines albendazole and flubendazole, both of which are anthelmintics. Albendazole operates by inhibiting the polymerization of tubulin, leading to impaired glucose uptake by the parasites and ultimately causing their death. Flubendazole has a similar mechanism, affecting the cellular structures of the worms. Together, these agents disrupt the metabolism and reproductive capabilities of intestinal worms, facilitating their elimination from the body without causing significant damage to surrounding tissues.
