View company portfolio →What Albendazole (Albendazole) is used for
Albendazole is an anthelmintic (worm-killing) medicine. It kills certain worms and tapeworm larvae that live in the gut, liver, lungs, brain and other parts of the body. It comes as tablets, including chewable tablets for children and people who cannot swallow tablets whole. It is a prescription medicine.
- Neurocysticercosis: an infection of the brain, muscles or eyes with the larvae of the pork tapeworm
- Hydatid disease: cysts in the liver, lungs or belly lining caused by the dog tapeworm, sometimes together with surgery
- Some other worm infections, such as roundworm, whipworm, hookworm, pinworm and threadworm-type infections, depending on the leaflet and the doctor
- Community deworming programmes in places where gut worms are common (WHO recommends this for children)
- Lymphatic filariasis, together with other medicines, in community programmes
- Giardia infection in children, according to one leaflet (Rwanda FDA)
Get medical help straight away if
- Call an ambulance or emergency number for a seizure (fit), collapse, trouble breathing, or if the person cannot be woken.

Our condition guides that mention Albendazole
From our condition guides, written from WHO, NICE and other opened sources. Your doctor decides if Albendazole is right for you and the dose.
- Giardiasis: An alternative choice. Albendazole seems to work about as well as metronidazole with fewer side effects. Mebendazole is also used, but the evidence for it is weaker. Sometimes used together with a nitroimidazole when the infection does not clear. Your doctor decides
- Worm infections (intestinal helminths): First choice for roundworm, whipworm, hookworm and threadworm. WHO recommends them for regular deworming of children and women in high-risk areas, including in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Both are considered compatible with breastfeeding. Use in pregnancy and in children under 2 only on a doctor's advice. Your doctor decides the dose
