Question

What is the correct way to administer Albendazole tablets to children and what are the precautions?

Answer

Albendazole tablets are typically used to treat roundworm and pinworm infections. According to the medication instructions, if a child has a roundworm infection, they should take 200 milligrams daily and should take the entire dose at once. Treatment should only be stopped after confirming that the worms have been completely eliminated. For pinworm infections, which are prone to self-reinfection, treatment should be repeated two weeks later. It is recommended to visit a pediatrician for relevant examinations and to use the medication under medical guidance.
