How Ocalbds Suspension Works

Albendazole is like a superhero against worms, messing up their outer covering and insides, which eventually stops them in their tracks. It does this by interfering with a crucial part called tubulin, needed for their energy production. By disrupting their energy supply, the worms become immobile and eventually die. It's like cutting off their power source. This action also affects their ability to take in glucose and use energy, leading to the depletion of their energy reserves and, ultimately, the end of the worm's journey.
