Abz Chewable Tablet 1 contains albendazole (400 mg) as the active ingredient. It works in the human body in the following manner:

• Albendazole works by blocking a process called tubulin polymerisation in the larval forms of certain parasites. This process is crucial for the formation of cytoplasmic microtubules, which are small structures inside parasites' cells.
• By inhibiting tubulin polymerisation, albendazole impairs glucose uptake in these parasites, depleting their energy stores. Thus, it is difficult for the parasites to survive and grow.

• Store Abz Chewable Tablet 1 at room temperature, ideally below 25°C.
• Protect it from light and moisture to maintain its efficacy.
• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.
• Ensure you use the tablet before the expiry date mentioned on the product packaging.

• If you have neurocysticercosis, consider eating a diet high in protein. This will support your body's recovery as it fights off the tapeworm infection.
• Personal hygiene is crucial; always wash your hands thoroughly after handling pets or outdoor activities.
