after percutaneous drainage of cysts for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes;

alveolar echinococcosis (caused by Echinococcus multiocularis):

in case of inoperable disease, in particular in cases of local or distant metastases;
after palliative surgery;
after radical surgery or liver transplantation;

neurocysticercosis (caused by Taenia solium larvae):

in the presence of single or multiple cysts or granulomatous brain damage;
with arachnoid or intraventricular cysts;
with racemic cysts;

capillarosis (caused by Capillaria philippinensis), gnathostomiasis (caused by Gnathostoma spinigerum and related species), trichinosis (caused by Trichinella spiralis and T.pseudospiralis), toxocariasis (caused by Toxocara canis and related species).

Compound

Each chewable tablet contains the active substance albendazole in an amount of 400 mg.
As well as auxiliary components: corn starch, talc, microcrystalline cellulose, colloidal silicon dioxide, aspartame, magnesium stearate, sodium propyl hydroxybenzoate, starch glycolate and sodium methylhydroxybenzoate, and mixed fruit essence. A 10 ml bottle of Vormil suspension contains the same amount of active and excipients, but also additional components: polysorbate 80 , raspberry essence and purified water.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

The effectiveness of albendazole is manifested in the treatment of various parasitic lesions affecting tissues and the intestinal area. Adult helminths, as well as eggs and larvae, show sensitivity to it. Thanks to the anthelmintic effect of albendazole, tubulin polymerization is suppressed , which destroys the metabolism of helminths and causes their death.

The action of this drug is aimed at a large number of intestinal helminths and protozoa. It also helps get rid of tissue worms and so on. Treatment with Vormil leads to a reduction in size or elimination of granular echinococcus cysts.

When taking albendazole , its poor absorption from the gastrointestinal tract was noted. If you simultaneously consume fatty foods, this significantly increases the absorption of the main substance. After initial passage through the liver, it undergoes rapid metabolism. The main metabolite is albendazole sulfate , the activity of which is 50% higher than the primary substance. The half-life is 8.5 hours. This happens mainly with bile or urine. If the drug is taken in a high dose over a long period of time to treat cysts, the metabolites from the cysts may be cleared within a few weeks.

Indications for use of the drug

The main purpose of the drug is the treatment and prevention of worms . By taking Vormil for prophylaxis, you can prevent the penetration of various forms of parasites into the body. Although it is still recommended to conduct a preliminary examination for their presence.

hookworm;
