mebendazole-image-reload
Mebendazole and albendazole are benzimidazole carbamates that bind with high affinity to parasite-free B-tubulin to inhibit its polymerization and microtubule assembly. These agents also irreversibly inhibit glucose uptake by nematodes; the resulting glycogen depletion and decreased ATP production immobilize the intestinal parasite, which is then cleared from the GI tract. 
Indications:
Mebendazole is the drug of choice for the treatment of Trichuris trichuria (whipworm), Enterobius vermicularis (horse pinworm, pinworm), Ascaris lumbricoides (roundworm), as well as hookworm Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus. For all these helminth mebendazole has success rates of at least 90 to 95%. It is also recommended for the treatment of Echinococcus granulosus and E. multilocularis infections
Mebendazole is available in Pakistan in various brand names. Each brand name along with manufacturing pharmaceutical industry is given below.
