Uses
Meriben is an anti-parasitic medication that is used in the treatment of certain parasitic roundworm infections, heartworm disease, and hookworm infections. Meriben treats parasitic infections of the skin, eyes, and intestinal tract.
How it Works
Meriben works by paralyzing and killing the parasites in the beginning stages of its growth before it gets to mature. Meriben works by binding to the muscle and nerve cells of the parasitic worms thus leading to their paralysis and death.
