ZBD Plus 12 mg – Dual Action Deworming Tablet (Albendazole & Ivermectin)
ZBD Plus 12 mg is a broad-spectrum anti-parasitic medication that combines two active ingredients: Albendazole (400 mg) and Ivermectin (12 mg). This dual-action formulation is effective against a wide range of intestinal and systemic worm infections, including roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and certain external parasites like scabies and lice.
