Other General Warnings

  • You experience bone marrow suppression or a decrease in blood cell count
  • You have a headache or fits immediately after starting the treatment

Directions for Use

  • Deworm 400mg Strip Of 1 Tablet can be swallowed with a glass of water. Please take it as directed by your doctor.

  • It should be kept in a dry place at a temperature below 30°C
  • Please protect it from light
  • Keep it out of reach of children

Quick Tips

  • Treat the whole household at the same time if one member has threadworm. Reinfection from an untreated family member is usually why the problem comes straight back.
  • Hygiene matters as much as the tablet for threadworm: wash hands and scrub under the nails after using the toilet and before eating, keep nails short, wash bedding and nightwear, and bathe or shower in the morning.
  • Take it with a meal containing some fat. Albendazole is poorly absorbed on an empty stomach, and absorption matters for worms that live outside the gut.
  • Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or might be, as deworming treatment is generally avoided in the first trimester and planned for later in pregnancy.
  • Report any unusual tiredness, yellowing of the eyes or skin, dark urine, sore throat with fever, or unexplained bruising, particularly on longer courses, as these can indicate an effect on the liver or blood counts.
  • A single dose clears most common intestinal worms, but some infections need a repeat dose after a couple of weeks to catch newly hatched worms. Follow your doctor's advice rather than assuming one tablet is the end of it.

Dosage

Overdose

  • Symptoms of overdose include diarrhea, vomiting, rapid heartbeat
  • If you think you had an overdose of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital

Missed a Dose

If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it is time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

Albendazole disrupts the metabolism of parasitic worms and thus kills them by depriving them of glucose and energy.

Interactions

Interactions with other drugs

Interactions with food items

  • Deworm 400mg Strip Of 1 Tablet should be taken with food
  • Grapefruit or grapefruit juice should be avoided as it may worsen the side effects of Albendazole

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

For threadworm, yes, everyone in the household is usually treated at the same time because the eggs spread easily, and an untreated person can reinfect the rest. For other worm infections, your doctor will advise, based on how it was acquired.
A single dose clears most common intestinal worm infections. Some, including threadworm, are often treated again after about two weeks to kill worms that have hatched since, because the tablet does not kill the eggs. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Albendazole is poorly absorbed on its own, and a meal containing some fat markedly increases absorption. This matters most for infections outside the intestine, where the drug must reach the tissues.
Wash hands thoroughly after the toilet and before eating, keep fingernails short and scrubbed, wash bedding and nightwear on a hot wash, shower in the morning to remove eggs laid overnight, and avoid scratching. Without these, reinfection is likely, regardless of what the tablet does.
Mild stomach ache, nausea, or headache is common and brief. Seek advice for yellowing of the eyes or skin, dark urine, persistent vomiting, a sore throat with fever, unusual bruising, or a rash, as these can indicate an effect on the liver or blood counts.
Albendazole should not be used in pregnancy or if you are planning a pregnancy. Women of childbearing age are advised to take this medicine during their first week of menstruation or after a negative pregnancy test. Women should also take measures to have a positive pregnancy test until one month after stopping this medication.
Albendazole should be used only under medical supervision. It can cause some severe side effects and you are advised not to self-medicate.
Deworming tablets, such as those containing Albendazole, are anti-worm medications used to treat various intestinal and stomach infections caused by parasites. These tablets work by disrupting the metabolism of the worms, depriving them of glucose and energy, which lead to their elimination. They should only be used under medical supervision. If you suspect a worm infection, please consult your doctor for a proper diagnosis and prescription.
Never give human deworming tablets like Albendazole to dogs, cats, puppies, or livestock like buffalo without veterinary approval. Animals require specific formulations and dosages tailored to their species and weight; human medications can lead to severe side effects, including seizures or toxicity in pets. If your cat pukes or your dog stops eating after a deworming treatment, it may be a reaction to the medication. For guidance on how to give a tablet to a pet and to ensure their safety, always consult your veterinarian rather than using over-the-counter human medicine.
