PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
Albendazole is a carbamate ester that is methyl 1H-benzimidazol-2-ylcarbamate substituted by a propylsulfanyl group at position 5. It is commonly used in the treatment of parasitic worm infestations. It has a role as a tubulin modulator, a microtubule-destabilising agent and an anthelminthic drug. It is a carbamate ester, a benzimidazolylcarbamate fungicide, an aryl sulfide and a member of benzimidazoles.
Adverse Effects
The most common adverse effects accompanying albendazole use are headaches and elevated liver enzymes, with 10% to 20% of patients experiencing elevated liver enzymes. Some other side effects of albendazole include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever. A small percentage of patients may experience a hypersensitivity reaction such as hives and pruritus to the drug.
