Drug Uses
Albenza is indicated for the treatment of parenchymal neurocysticercosis
due to active lesions caused by larval forms of the pork tapeworm.
This medicine may also be used for the treatment of cystic
hydatid disease of the liver, lung, and peritoneum, caused
by the larval form of the dog tapeworm.
Albenza should be taken with food.
Albenza may cause fetal harm, therefore, you should begin
treatment after a negative pregnancy test. During therapy,
because of the possibility of harm to the liver or bone marrow,
routine (every 2 weeks) monitoring of blood counts and liver
function tests should take place. Talk to your doctor about
possible harm to the fetus if you plan on becoming pregnant
while on Albenza or within 1 month of completing treatment.
If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it
is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and
resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not double the dose
to catch up.
The symptoms are usually mild and resolved without treatment.
Store between 20? and 25?C (68? and 77?F).
In case of overdosage, symptomatic therapy and general supportive
measures are recommended. Seek emergency medical attention.
If you suffer of hypersensitivity to the benzimidazole class
of compounds or any components of Albenza, talk to your doctor
before taking this medicine.
