Chemical composition and pharmacological properties

1 tablet contains albendazole - 360 mg and oxyclozanide - 175 mg (as active ingredients), as well as excipients. 
1 g of Helmicide granules contains albendazole - 200 mg and oxyclozanide - 70 mg (as active ingredients), as well as excipients. 
Oxyclozanide (a component of the drug) with significant trematodocide properties has harmful effect on all development phases of Fasciola spp., Paramphistomum spp. and Dicrocoelium lanceatum. Mechanism of action includes phosphorylation damage, decreased activity of fumarate reductase and succinate dehydrogenase in trematodes causing paralysis and death of a worm. 
Albendazole is active against mature and immature gastrointestinal and pulmonary roundworms, as well as against cestodes and mature trematodes. Ovocidic action of this active ingredient allows to lower contamination of pastures by worm eggs. Antihelmintic albendazole action is caused by disorder of carbohydrate metabolism and microtubular function in worms causing their death and excretion.
