ALBENDAZOLE PH.SWEDE

Albendazole Pharma Swede is a line of veterinary oral suspension medications manufactured by Pharma Swede Egypt. It is formulated as a broad-spectrum anthelmintic (dewormer) used primarily to control and treat various parasitic worm infections and adult liver flukes in livestock, such as cattle and sheep.

Available Formulations

Pharma Swede produces this veterinary medication in three primary strengths to accommodate different dosing needs and animal sizes:

• Albendazole 2.5% Suspension: Formulated for the control of gastrointestinal worms, lungworms, tapeworms, and adult liver flukes in cattle and sheep.

• Albendazole 5% Suspension: A mid-strength option targeting the same spectrum of internal parasites in sheep and cattle.

• Albendazole 20% Suspension: A highly concentrated formula typically utilized for larger livestock management or cattle.

• Indications & Spectrum of ActivityThe active ingredient, albendazole, works by disrupting the parasite's cellular structure (specifically binding to beta-tubulin), which prevents them from absorbing glucose and ultimately leads to their death. It is highly effective against:

  • Nematodes: Gastrointestinal roundworms and lungworms.

  • Cestodes: Adult tapeworms.

  • Trematodes: Adult liver flukes (Fasciola hepatica)

• Standard Dosage Examples (5% Suspension)Dosing is strictly based on the weight and target parasite of the animal:

  • Roundworms and Tapeworms: 1.5 ml of Albendazole 5% per 10 kg of body weight.

  • Adult Liver Flukes: 1 ml of Albendazole 5% per 5 kg of body weight.
