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.

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.

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.
