✔️ Pharmacology

Mebendazole is indeed a synthetic broad-spectrum anthelmintic drug that is effective against a variety of parasitic worms, including nematodes. Its mechanism of action involves preventing the worms from forming microtubules, which ultimately leads to the depletion of glucose and energy within the worms, resulting in their death.

When taken orally, Mebendazole is absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract, with approximately 2-10% of the oral dose being absorbed. The peak concentration of Mebendazole in the plasma occurs between 30 minutes to 7 hours after administration.

Mebendazole has a strong affinity for plasma proteins, which means that it binds to proteins in the blood. The half-life of elimination, which refers to the time it takes for half of the drug to be eliminated from the body, ranges from 2.8 to 9 hours.

It's important to note that individual pharmacokinetic parameters may vary based on factors such as age, metabolism, and other individual characteristics.
