The broad-spectrum antiparasitic drug Albendazole 400 mg is frequently used to treat flukes, roundworms, and tapeworms, among other worm illnesses. It functions by preventing the parasite from absorbing sugar, which eventually saps its energy and causes it to perish. Depending on the nature and severity of the infection, albendazole is often recommended in one or more doses.

It should be taken under medical supervision, but it is thought to be safe for usage in both adults and children. Abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting are possible side effects. Albendazole should not be used by pregnant women unless a healthcare professional determines it is required.
