Euroben L 400mg/6mg Tablet

Euroben L 400mg/6mg Tablet belongs to the class of medications called 'anthelmintics' used to treat parasitic worm infections. Parasitic worm infections are intestinal worm infections that are caused by the ingestion of contaminated food and water.

Euroben L 400mg/6mg Tablet contains albendazole and levamisole. Albendazole works by inhibiting tubulin polymerization, causing metabolic disruption and energy depletion in the parasite, leading to immobilization. Levamisole works by suppressing the worm's muscle's enzyme activity, leading to paralysis and death. This eventually leads to the death of susceptible helminths and thus prevents the growth of parasitic infections.

Take Euroben L 400mg/6mg Tablet as prescribed by your doctor.

Euroben L 400mg/6mg Tablet contains 'Albendazole' and 'Levamisole', which belong to the class of medications called 'anthelmintics'. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used in the treatment of parasitic infections. It can kill the disease-causing worms and stop the spread of infection effectively. Albendazole interrupts the absorption of glucose by the worm, leading to energy depletion. Levamisole works by suppressing the enzyme activity in the worm's muscle; this leads to paralysis and death.

Parasitic worm infections: Parasitic worms are also called intestinal worms or helminths. They live in and feed on the hosts, leading to weakness and diseases. Common types of intestinal worms are roundworms and flatworms, such as tapeworms and flukes. Worm infections could occur due to consuming contaminated water, food, or soil, contact with contaminated faeces, poor sanitization, or poor hygiene. Symptoms of worm infections include abdominal pain, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, gas, bloating, fatigue, unexplained weight loss, and dysentery (bloody stools).
