Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Parasitic worm infections

Medicinal Benefits

Onzole Suspension belongs to a group of medicines called anthelmintic used to treat worm infections such as neurocysticercosis (infection caused by pork tapeworm) and cystic hydatid disease (infection caused by dog tapeworm). Onzole Suspension is also used to treat infections caused by roundworms, hookworms, threadworms, whipworms, pinworms, flukes, and other parasites. Onzole Suspension is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic drug which is highly effective against a wide range of intestinal helminths, including cestodes, nematodes, and trematodes. It is also effective against tissue helminth infections like cutaneous larva migrans (parasitic skin infections). Onzole Suspension exhibits ovicidal, larvicidal and vermicidal activity. Onzole Suspension inhibits tubulin polymerisation, which causes metabolic disruption and energy depletion in the parasite. This leads to the immobilisation of the parasite. Thereby, Onzole Suspension kills the susceptible helminth and treats the infection.
