Accworm-Plus Chewable Tablet Pineapple is used to treat parasitic worm infections. Parasitic worm infections are intestinal worm infections that are caused by the ingestion of contaminated food and water. Accworm-Plus Chewable Tablet Pineapple can be used to treat infections caused by roundworms, hookworms, threadworms, whipworms, pinworms, flukes, and other parasites. 

Accworm-Plus Chewable Tablet Pineapple contains ‘albendazole’ and ‘ivermectin’, which work by keeping the worm from taking glucose and depleting its energy levels, leading to its immobilization. Ivermectin can kill the parasites by acting on the nervous system. It starves the worms by inducing paralysis, consequently leading them to death.

Common types of intestinal worms are roundworms and flatworms, such as tapeworms and flukes.
