Meben - 500mg Tablet
Mebendazole Tablets USP 500mg
- The active ingredient of Meben is Mebendazole USP 500mg.
- Mebendazole is a synthetic benzimidazole derivative and highly effective and safe anthelmintic agent used in the treatment of single or mixed gastrointestinal infections.
- Mebendazole interferes with the reproduction and survival of helminths by inhibiting the formation of their cytoplasmic micro tubules, thereby selectively and irreversibly blocking glucose uptake.
- This results in depletion of glycogen stores and leads to reduced formation of ATP required for survival and reproduction of helminths, causing an eventual death of the helminth.
