Posted on Sat, 8 Aug 2015
Question: Some of my friends recommended me to have EVIMECTIN-A (Ivermectin & Albendazole Tablets) as it is good for killing worms or for just cleaning your stomach. They said you can have 1 tablet in 6 months, as mostly we eat outside food.





I do not have any worms as such. But is it good to have this. Can i have this
