Noworm
Noworm contains Albendazole, an anthelmintic medication that eradicates parasitic worms by inhibiting their glucose uptake, leading to energy depletion and death of the parasite. It is effective against both larval and adult stages of susceptible parasites.
Dosage by Body Weight
Common intestinal worm infections are typically treated with a single dose, which may be repeated after 2-3 weeks to prevent reinfection. Take with a fatty meal to improve absorption for systemic infections. Tablets should be chewed or crushed before swallowing.
