Conclusions: Albendazole is the drug of choice for hookworm, Ascaris lumbricoides, and pinworm
Albendazole has an average rating of 7
We aimed to establish whether combination of these drugs would increase cysticidal efficacy and
Alveolar Echinococcosis (AE) ALB is the drug of choice, and is given orally at a dosage of 10–15 mg/kg/day, in 2 divided doses, with fat-rich meals
Albendazole, when compared with praziquantel, showed a 76% vs 73% disappearance of lesions, respectively
Albendazole (ABZ) has been used together with praziquantel (PZQ) before for geohelminths, echinococcosis and cysticercosis, but their combined use is not yet
Albendazole sulfoxide (ALBSOX) – the active metabolite of albendazole – and praziquantel (PRZ), is frequently used for the treatment of hydatid cysts [14]
Background Trichinella spiralis can affect the brain by inducing inflammatory and vascular changes
e
Ivermectin, albendazole and praziquantel were co-administered to 5,055 children and adults living in areas endemic for LF, STH and schistosomiasis in Zanzibar, United Republic of Tanzania
Despite these results, however, analysis of clinical course showed a high frequency of neurologic
To do so may increase the chance of side effects
Objectives: To compare (i) side effects associated with the simultaneous adminstration of praziquantel, albendazole and ivermectin with side affects associated with albendazole and ivermectin only and (ii) coverage by volunteers distributing three or two drugs

ALBSOX inhibits the glucose uptake of echinococcus cells and initiates cellular autolysis through the degeneration of microtrichs and microtubules [15]
Albenza is used to treat infections caused by worms such as pork tapeworm and dog tapeworm
Subsequently Lofa County became an early epicenter of the Praziquantel and albendazole are drugs of choice, but treatment of neurocysticercosis is controversial
ALB is also preferred to MEB, because MEB requires a higher dose and a higher pill burden, for example, an adult patient would require 8 tablets/day of MEB compared with 2 tablets/day ALB
Praziquantel and albendazole have been recently described as effective drugs for treating cysticercosis of the brain
