Used For:

Albendazole is an antiparasitic medication used to treat a variety of parasitic infections, including hydatid disease, neurocysticercosis, and intestinal worm infections such as roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and pinworms. It works by inhibiting the parasites' ability to absorb glucose, leading to their death.

Side Effects:

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and headache. In some cases, it may cause dizziness or diarrhea. Rare but serious side effects include liver enzyme elevation, bone marrow suppression, and severe allergic reactions such as rash or swelling.

Precautions:

Albendazole should be used cautiously in individuals with liver problems or a history of bone marrow suppression. Regular monitoring of liver function and blood cell counts is recommended for long-term or high-dose treatment. It is usually not recommended during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester, as it may harm the fetus. Breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using albendazole. To ensure effective treatment, it is often advised to take albendazole with a meal, particularly a fatty meal, to enhance absorption.
