Bemisol 400mg/150mg Tablet is used to treat parasitic worm infections. It contains albendazole and levamisole. Albendazole inhibits tubulin polymerization, causing metabolic disruption and energy depletion in the parasite, leading to immobilization. Levamisole suppresses the worm's muscle's enzyme activity, leading to paralysis and death; this eventually leads to the death of susceptible helminths and thus prevents the growth of parasitic infections.

How Bemisol 400mg/150mg Tablet Works

Bemisol 400mg/150mg Tablet contains Albendazole and Levamisole. • Albendazole: It is an antiparasitic medicine that works by preventing worms from absorbing glucose, their main source of energy. Without enough energy, the worms gradually become weak, stop growing, and eventually die inside the intestine. • Levamisole: It is an antiparasitic medicine that acts on the nervous system of worms, causing paralysis of their muscles. Once paralyzed, the worms lose their grip on the intestinal wall and are naturally passed out of the body through bowel movements.
