Adverse effects of long term, continual administration of high doses of albendazole in the treatment of echinococcal disease

Abstract

Longterm, continual administration of high doses of albendazole in the patients with echinococcal disease results in significant elevation of serum transaminases activity, compared to the patients treated with albendazole in the cycles, but in the majority of the patients serum transaminases activity was normalizated by the end of a 6-month period.
