Albendazole works by inhibiting the polymerization of tubulin into microtubules, which is an essential process for the survival of parasites. By disrupting the microtubule formation, Albendazole effectively impedes the energy production and metabolism of the parasites, leading to their eventual death. This mechanism makes it useful against numerous parasitic infections, including roundworm, hookworm, whipworm, and tapeworm infestations. Additionally, it is used to treat certain tissue infections caused by cysticercosis, which is a disease caused by the larval form of the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium.
