    Function and Application

    Albendazole is a highly effective, broad-spectrum anthelmintic that can also be used to prevent parasitic infections, but it is ineffective against insects.Its mechanism of action is by inhibiting glucose absorption, leading to glycogen depletion in the insect body.

    Also, it inhibits the fumarate reductase system, hindering ATP production.
