Albendazole I.P is a broad-spectrum benzimidazole anthelmintic used in veterinary medicine for the treatment and control of various gastrointestinal and hepatic parasitic infestations. This oral suspension formulation delivers 25 mg/mL of Albendazole, enabling effective dosing for ruminants and other livestock.

Albendazole works by selectively binding to parasite β-tubulin, inhibiting microtubule polymerization, thus preventing glucose uptake and depleting energy stores, leading to parasite death.
