Anthelmet Syrup is used to treat parasitic worm infections like neurocysticercosis (infection caused by pork tapeworm) and cystic hydatid disease (infection caused by dog tapeworm). It is also used to treat infections caused by roundworms, hookworms, threadworms, whipworms, pinworms, flukes, and other parasites. Additionally, it is used to treat giardiasis (an intestinal parasitic infection caused by Giardia lamblia) in children over 2 years of age.

Anthelmet Syrup contains albendazole, an antiparasitic medication that works by blocking worms from absorbing sugar (glucose), which is their primary source of energy. Without energy, the worms become weak and die. This process helps remove the worms from the body, thus clearing the infection.

For neurocysticercosis, Anthelmet Syrup is usually prescribed for 8-30 days. For cystic hydatid disease, Anthelmet Syrup is usually prescribed for 28 days, followed by a 14-day break, and repeated for a total of 3 cycles.
