Indication

t is used as anthelmintic against most nematodes and cestodes. Almex-Vet® is effective against these gastrointestinal parasites: Bunostomum, Chabertia, Cooperia, Haemonchus, Nematodirus, Ostertagia, Strongyloides, Dictyocaulus viviparus, Moniezia expansa, Liver flukes and Paramphistomes. It is also effective against different types of worms, lung flukes and lung nematodes.

Mode of Action

Benzimidazoles bind to b-tubulin, which in turn prevents its dimerization with a-tubulin and the polymerization of tubulin oligomers into microtubules. Microtubules are essential structural units of many organelles and are necessary for numerous processes, including protein assembly, and energy metabolism. Mammals also rely on tubulin for cellular metabolism but BZDs have a higher affinity for nematode tubulin at normal body temperature range of mammals.
