"Treatment with Zentel (albendazole) very effective with 27 parasites dug out of leg between ankle and knee. No side effects, B/P normal and diabetes type 2 not affected, took 3 pills then 2 weeks later a follow-up dose of 3 more pills. No biopsy could get a diagnosis. Very happy with treatment as 7 different creams worked for 2 days each then itch all the time and no sleep."

"I had a weird creeping 'mosquito bite' that, of course, was no mosquito bite at all. The doctor knew exactly what it was, and she gave me a dose for 7 days. I know it is important to respect the dose, but I had read before a 5-day course is effective. The pills are very expensive (it would have cost me $30 US for 7 days). I decided to side with the studies showing 5 days as sufficient. It was for me. At day one, the itch decreased. By day three, the itch stopped, and the tracks lessened. The worst of the side effects was lazy tiredness and light headache, as well as mild nausea. I think it 'threw off' my digestion a little, but I have no more symptoms. Happy camper."

Albendazole "Over $800.00 for (4) pills. The first time, then another $800 for the second dose! What! Are the manufacturers insane? It is just internal worms! They are not curing cancer. Shameful!"
