Albendazole is given in consecutive cycles when dosing is done for cystic hydatid disease, not neurocysticercosis. For treatment of neurocysticercosis, patients generally take albendazole for 8 to 30 days. Albendazole can cause mild to moderate liver impairment, so patients should have liver function testing before and during treatment. The drug should be taken with a high-fat meal to improve absorption.
