Is Taking Albenzadole Safe As A Precautionary Measure Against Pin Worms?

Hi, someone in my family has pinworms. I live off in college and come home on a weekly/biweekly basis so I wasn t constantly exposed to it. He is being treated for the pinworms with Albenzadole. My question is, even if I am parasite free, is Albenzadole still safe to take for precautionary measures?
