How Albendazole + Pyrantel Pamoate works

Albendazole + Pyrantel Pamoate is a combination of two antihelmintic medications: Albendazole and Pyrantel Pamoate. Albendazole works by keeping the worms from absorbing sugar (glucose), thereby depleting their energy level. This causes the worms to die and treats your infection. Pyrantel Pamoate works by binding to the muscle and nerve cells of worms, causing their paralysis. The worms are unable to move and are cleared naturally in stool.
