Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the medicine. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Q Anzol 400 MG Tablet 1 contains albendazole (400 mg) as the active ingredient. It works in the human body in the following manner:

Albendazole works by blocking a process called tubulin polymerisation in the larval forms of certain parasites. This process is crucial for the formation of cytoplasmic microtubules, which are small structures inside parasites' cells.
By inhibiting tubulin polymerisation, albendazole impairs glucose uptake in these parasites, depleting their energy stores. Thus, it is difficult for the parasites to survive and grow.

Pregnancy

Q Anzol 400 MG Tablet 1 is contraindicated in pregnancy as it could potentially harm the foetus. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, consult your doctor before starting this medicine.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, it is advised to exercise caution as albendazole may pass into breast milk and adversely affect your baby. Always consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Alcohol

Avoid alcohol consumption while on this medication as it may increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness. Always consult your doctor regarding alcohol intake.

Liver

Q Anzol 400 MG Tablet 1 should be used cautiously if you have liver problems. It can affect liver function, especially in those with pre-existing liver conditions. Regular monitoring of liver functions might be required while taking this medicine. Always consult your doctor before starting this medication.
