⚙️ How Does Aldol 400 Work?

Aldol 400 contains Albendazole, which works by:

• Stopping parasites from absorbing glucose (their main source of energy)

• Causing worms to lose energy and die naturally inside the body

• Eliminating live parasites, eggs, and larvae from the digestive system and tissues

This leads to effective clearance of intestinal and systemic parasitic infections.
