• General administration: Take the tablets by mouth with water, preferably with food or a fatty meal to enhance absorption, unless your doctor advises otherwise.
• Hydatid cyst disease (echinococcosis) – adults ≥ 60 kg (reference regimen): 400 mg albendazole twice daily with meals for 28 days, followed by a 14-day drug-free interval. This 28-day treatment plus 14-day break cycle is usually repeated for a total of 3 cycles. Your doctor will adjust according to your condition and weight.
• Capillariasis – adults and children ≥ 2 years (reference regimen): 200 mg twice daily for 10 days.
• Cutaneous larva migrans – adults (reference regimen): 400 mg once daily for 3 days. Children: 5 mg/kg/day for 3 days, as directed by a pediatrician.
• Giardiasis – adults (reference regimen): 400 mg once daily for 3 days. Pediatric dosing is determined by the doctor based on body weight.
• Trichinosis – adults (reference regimen): 400 mg twice daily for 15 days.
• Trichostrongyliasis – adults (reference regimen): 400 mg as a single dose.
• Dosing for other parasitic infections (e.g., neurocysticercosis, strongyloidiasis, microsporidiosis) is individualized by the treating physician.
• Swallow the tablet whole; if necessary and approved by your doctor, it may be crushed or chewed, especially in children, and taken with food.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• Do not exceed the prescribed duration of therapy. Regular monitoring (e.g., liver function tests, blood counts) may be required during prolonged treatment.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides broad-spectrum anthelmintic activity against many intestinal and tissue-dwelling helminths.
• Helps eradicate tapeworms, roundworms, and other susceptible parasites, reducing parasite load and associated complications.
• Supports relief from symptoms of parasitic infections such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, malabsorption, weight loss, and fatigue when used as directed.
• Contributes to the prevention of serious organ damage in conditions like hydatid disease and neurocysticercosis when part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
• Convenient oral tablet form facilitates adherence to prescribed treatment regimens for both adults and children (as directed by a doctor).
