Albendazole is a benzimidazole derivative with great tolerability and broad-spectrum anthelmenthic action. Albendazole tablets (400 mg) were made using 3 different methods: Non-aqueous granulation, aqueous granulation, and direct compression. The prepared tablets were then tested for various evaluation parameters, including average weight, hardness, tapped density, Carr’s index, friability, and dissolution. The specifications were determined to be satisfied by every parameter. When compared to other batches and commercially available products, the investigation on the dissolution profile showed that product A3 (made using the direct compression method) had a quicker dissolving rate. The range of the assay values was between 90% and 110%. The main challenge in treating helminthes illness is the development of resistance in helminths to traditional anthelmintics. To clarify ..
