The antiparasitic drug Albendazole Tablet is a standard treatment for worm infections including flukes, roundworms, and tapeworms. Parasites are killed off because it stops them from absorbing glucose. Common uses for albendazole include treating hydatid illness, ascariasis, and neurocysticercosis.
Take it with food for optimal absorption if you choose the tablet or suspension version. Rare but possible side effects include problems with the liver or blood, nausea, vertigo, and headaches. Even though albendazole is usually safe to take, it must always be administered under a doctor's supervision, particularly if the patient is pregnant or has liver problems.
