Albendazole treats various parasitic infections, including neurocysticercosis (a brain infection caused by pork tapeworm), cystic hydatid disease (caused by dog tapeworm), and other intestinal infections caused by certain parasites.
How does albendazole work?
Albendazole works by inhibiting the growth and reproduction of parasites. It prevents newly hatched insect larvae (worms) from growing or multiplying in your body. The principal mode of action for albendazole is by its inhibitory effect on tubulin polymerisation which results in the loss of cytoplasmic microtubules impeding glucose uptake by the worm leading to their immobilisation and eventual death.
Forms of albendazole available
Albendazole is available in the form of oral tablets.
Dosage of albendazole
The dosage of albendazole may vary depending on the specific infection being treated, the severity of the infection, and individual patient factors. The dose of albendazole is determined by the healthcare provider.
Directions for albendazole use
Albendazole should be taken exactly as directed by the healthcare provider. The tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and may be taken with or without food. Use albendazole for the full prescribed length of time, even if your symptoms quickly improve. Albendazole tablets are normally given as a single dose.

Interactions with other drugs
Albendazole’s drug interactions include antiretroviral drugs, cimetidine, and dexamethasone. It is important to inform the healthcare provider about all prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications and supplements being taken.
Use of albendazole during pregnancy
Albendazole is generally not recommended during pregnancy, particularly in the first trimester. Consultation with a healthcare provider is necessary to weigh the potential risks and benefits.
