Albendazole is widely used as an antiparasitic medication to treat a variety of parasitic worm infections. It is particularly effective against intestinal parasites such as roundworms, tapeworms, and hookworms. In veterinary medicine, it is commonly administered to livestock to control and eliminate parasitic infestations, ensuring the health and productivity of animals. In human medicine, it is a key treatment for conditions like neurocysticercosis, caused by pork tapeworm larvae, and hydatid disease, resulting from dog tapeworm larvae. Albendazole works by inhibiting the parasites' ability to absorb glucose, leading to their eventual death. It is often used in mass drug administration programs in endemic regions to reduce the burden of parasitic diseases in communities. Proper dosing and adherence to treatment regimens are crucial to ensure its effectiveness and minimize potential side effects.
