Sintel Suspension 200 mg/5 ml contains Albendazole, a broad-spectrum anthelmintic used for the treatment of various parasitic worm infections. It is effective against roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, pinworms, and tapeworms. This oral suspension formulation is particularly suitable for children and patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets, ensuring accurate dosing and convenient administration.

Albendazole works by disrupting the energy metabolism of worms, leading to their immobilization and eventual elimination from the body. Sintel Suspension provides a safe, effective, and easy-to-administer solution for treating gastrointestinal parasitic infections.

Composition

• Albendazole 200 mg per 5 ml

Mechanism of Action

• Albendazole binds to beta-tubulin in parasitic cells, inhibiting microtubule polymerization.
• Disruption of microtubules interferes with glucose uptake and depletes glycogen stores.
• Energy depletion leads to immobilization and death of the parasite.
