Unfortunately, resistance of several gastrointestinal roundworms to albendazole (and other benzimidazoles ) and levamisole is already very high and very frequent worldwide in sheep and goats . (parasitipedia.net)
Praziquantel2
Albendazole is an effective treatment for: Flatworms Fasciolosis Cestodes (tapeworms), as an alternative to praziquantel or niclosamide for adult beef tapewormss and as an alternative to praziquantel for pork tapeworms. (wikipedia.org)
Though praziquantel is often better at treating tapeworm infections, albendazole is used more often in endemic countries due to being cheaper and having a broader spectrum. (wikipedia.org)
Anthelmintic1
Albendazole is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic and antiprotozoal agent of the benzimidazole type. (wikipedia.org)
SHEEP2
Abstract This study assessed the anthelminthic feed additive albendazole effect on the main indicators of the quality of sheep meat obtained from infected and deworming animals. (bvsalud.org)
The results obtained show that the meat of the experimental groups of sheep, when using the anthelminthic feed additive albendazole, did not have a significant effect on organoleptic parameters, but significantly positively influenced the metabolism, live weight gain and biological value of meat. (bvsalud.org)
Rats1
While studies in pregnant rats and rabbits have shown albendazole to be teratogenic, albendazole has been found to be safe in humans during the second and third trimesters. (worldsbest.rehab)
Albendazole has a similar effectiveness to ivermectin in these cases, though it needs to be given for 21 days rather than the 2 days needed for ivermectin. (wikipedia.org)
Pregnant1
In pregnant dogs, albendazole use has led to puppies with reduced weight and with cleft palates. (worldsbest.rehab)
Cattle1
Albendazole 20% is indicated for control of different types of worms and adult liver fluke in cattle. (pharmaswede.com)
Pregnancy1
Albendazole is a pregnancy class D drug in Australia. (worldsbest.rehab)
Efficacy3
Albendazole can achieve good results (95%-100% efficacy after a 10-day course of treatment) if treatment is initiated within 72 hours of ingestion of the egg-containing raccoon feces. (wikipedia.org)
The lowest efficacy was found in the case of Endokil ® (albendazole) which reduced the EPG count to 42.99% on the 28th day. (journalsajp.com)
Tapeworms1
Cysticercosis (especially neurocysticercosis), which is caused by the larval form of the pork tapeworm (i.e. albendazole is the drug of choice for larval pork tapeworms, but not adult pork tapeworms). (wikipedia.org)
Liver3
The most common side effects of albendazole are experienced by over 10% of people and include headache and abnormal liver function. (worldsbest.rehab)
Resistance of the liver fluke , Fasciola hepatica , to albendazole and triclabendazole has been already reported in several countries as well (e.g. (parasitipedia.net)
In the current study, 90 male Hu lambs were used to investigate the effect of dietary CNT intake on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, meat quality and oxidative stability, rumen microbial, and the transcriptomes of muscle and liver. (bvsalud.org)
Oral1
Albendazole sulfoxide is secreted into breast milk at around 1.5% of the maternal dose, though oral absorption is poor enough that it is unlikely to affect nursing infants. (worldsbest.rehab)
Effect1
Albendazole has an embryotoxic effect on Loa loa adults and thus slowly reduces microfilaremia. (wikipedia.org)
Treatment2
Alveolar and cystic echinococcosis may require lifelong treatment with albendazole, which only prevents the parasites from growing and reproducing rather than killing them. (wikipedia.org)
People receiving albendazole for the treatment of neurocysticercosis can have neurological side effects such as seizures, increased intracranial pressure, and focal signs caused by the inflammatory reaction that occurs when parasites in the brain are killed. (worldsbest.rehab)
Drugs2
It can increase the anxiety and depression a person experiences, and it can interact with certain other drugs including Albendazole. (worldsbest.rehab)
It is important to remember that interactions do occur with all types of drugs, to a great or lesser extent and this article details the interactions of mixing Albendazole and Weed. (worldsbest.rehab)
Fenbendazole1
Fenbendazole (FBZ) was continuously infused for 30 days into the rumen of 103 lambs which had mature or developing benzimidazole-susceptible or thiabendazole-resistant Haemonchus contortus and susceptible Trichostrongylus colubriformis infections. (nih.gov)

Albendazole is effective against adult worms but not against the immature microfilariae. (wikipedia.org)
