pharmachologic effect
The anthelmintic effect of the main active microelement determines the formation of tubulin, which leads to metabolic disorders of helminths and their further death.
"Vormil" is active against any intestinal and tissue nematodes, as well as simple microorganisms. In most cases, the drug helps to reduce the size or completely eliminate the cyst of granular echinococcus.
When taken internally, albendazole is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Absorption of the active substance significantly increases the intake of the drug along with fatty foods.
The main component is characterized by the action of the first passage through the liver, where it instantly exchanges. Albendazole sulfate is considered the main metabolic product, the therapeutic activity of which is about fifty percent more than that of albendazole itself. The half-life is eight and a half hours. The main trace element is excreted, as a rule, with urine and bile. If "Vormil" is prescribed in high doses for a long time to eliminate cysts, then the removal of metabolic products from cysts can take several weeks.
