Question: Based on Dr. Vaishalee Punj's recommendation, I took tablet Albendazole 400 mg last night. If my body itching issue was related to worms, within how muchtime should I expect relief?
Brief Answer:
Worm expulsion should happen within few hours
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
With Albendazole, worm expulsion should happen within a few hours, XXXXXXX 24 hrs
Since itching happens due to histamine release and other inflammation mediators, it may take a 2-5 days to disappear.
