Indications & Clinical Uses

ABD Tab (Albendazole 400mg) is indicated for the treatment of systemic and parenchymal parasitic infections. It is commonly prescribed for parenchymal neurocysticercosis caused by larval forms of the pork tapeworm (Taenia solium) and hydatid disease of the liver, lung, and peritoneum caused by the dog tapeworm (Echinococcus granulosus). Additionally, it is used to treat common intestinal nematode infections such as ascariasis, hookworm, and enterobiasis.

Side Effects

Common side effects associated with ABD Tab include headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dizziness, and temporary hair thinning. More serious but less common adverse reactions can occur, such as elevated liver enzymes, bone marrow suppression (including leukopenia), and severe hypersensitivity reactions. Patients should undergo regular monitoring as directed by their healthcare provider.

Precautions & Warnings

ABD Tab is classified under Pregnancy Category D, meaning there is evidence of human fetal risk; it should not be used during pregnancy unless the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Women of childbearing potential should obtain a negative pregnancy test before starting therapy and use effective contraception during and for a period after treatment. Routine monitoring of blood counts and liver function is recommended during prolonged therapy.

Avoid Interactions

Co-administration of ABD Tab with dexamethasone, praziquantel, or cimetidine may increase the concentration of albendazole's active metabolite in the blood, potentially increasing the risk of side effects. Conversely, certain hepatic enzyme inducers, such as anticonvulsants, may decrease the effectiveness of the medication. Patients should disclose all current medications, supplements, and herbal products to their healthcare provider before starting treatment.
