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.
How Taken
Albenza should be taken with food.
Warnings/Precautions
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.
