Is it safe to take albendazole during pregnancy? - graemeclark - 10-14-2024
Due to possible dangers to the growing baby, Albendazole 400 mg is typically not advised during pregnancy, particularly in the first trimester. Albendazole given in the early stages of pregnancy has been linked to birth abnormalities in animals, according to research. The majority of medical professionals caution against using it unless the advantages outweigh the hazards.
Under strict medical supervision, albendazole may be recommended in situations of severe parasite infections where treatment is necessary, usually after the first trimester. It is typically recommended that women of reproductive age utilize contraception while taking the medicine and have a pregnancy test before beginning treatment.
