Albenza
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. Missed Dose
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. Possible Side Effects
The symptoms are usually mild and resolved without treatment.
Storage
Store between 20? and 25?C (68? and 77?F). Overdose
In case of overdosage, symptomatic therapy and general
supportive measures are recommended. Seek emergency
medical attention. More Information
