A member asked:
Is one dose of albendazole enough to treat a nematode infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Which one: There are in excess of a thousand members of the nematode family, many of which can infect humans. The proper treatment would require identification of the specific worm. One is quite sensitive to this med & a single dose may kill it. Others may require a daily program for an extended length of time.If you provide more specific background information a more specific answer can be provided.
