Precautions of Albendazole Tablets 400 mg
Precautions While Using Albendazole Tablets 400 mg (Especially for Long-Term, High-Dose Treatments)
1. Liver Health
- Albendazole may raise liver enzyme levels.
- Severe hepatitis can occur—regular liver tests are important (before and every 2 weeks during treatment).

- Watch out for possible allergic relapses.
2. Blood Cell Monitoring
- Risk of medullary depression (low blood cells like pancytopenia, agranulocytosis).
- Regular blood tests are required—especially for patients with liver disease.
- Stop treatment if blood count drops significantly.
3. Trichinosis Treatment
- Limited data for kids under 6.
- Works best if taken early in the infection; doesn’t help in late/chronic cases (encysted larvae).
4. Contraception Warning
- Can harm pregnancy (teratogenic effects).
- Must use reliable contraception during treatment.
- Doctors should explain risks clearly before starting therapy.
5. Albendazole Tablets 400 mg Ingredients
