Adverse Reactions

Since albendazole is poorly absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract at the usual therapeutic doses, side effects have generally been restricted to gastro-intestinal disturbances such as transient abdominal pain and diarrhoea.
However, adverse effects have been reported more frequently with high doses tried in the treatment of hydatid disease and have included allergic reactions, raised liver enzymes values, leucopenia and alopecia.
