I have perianal itching after taking Albendazole 400 mg Tablet. How long should I wait before taking the next dose?
Asked by Male, 24 · 2 months ago
After taking Albendazole 400 mg Tablet, perianal itching may occur due to dying worms. You should wait at least 2 weeks before taking the next dose. During this time, maintain good hygiene, wash the anal area gently, and change your underwear regularly to prevent reinfection and reduce irritation. If the itching persists or worsens, please consult your doctor.
