Albentong sus 10%
Composition
Each ml of suspension contains:
Albendazole………………………………100 mg
Exp. qs……………………………………..1 ml
Pharmacokinetics
Albendazole is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract due to its low aqueous solubility. Albendazole concentrations are negligible or undetectable in plasma as it is rapidly converted to the sulfoxide metabolite prior to reaching the systemic circulation. The systemic anthelmintic activity has been attributed to the primary metabolite, albendazole sulfoxide. Maximal plasma concentrations of albendazole sulfxiode are typically achived 2 to 5 hours after dosing. Albendazole sulfoxide is 70% bound to plasma protines and is widely distributed throughout the body. Albendazole is rapidly converted in the liver to the primary metabolite, albendazole sulfoxide , which is further metabolized to albendazole sulfoxide is through urine to a lesser extent and maximum through bile.
Indications
