What Are The Side Effects Of Albendazole?

sir,

I had some anal itching problem for some days which I thought was caused by worm infection. Even one day I got one live worm in my finger while scratching with it.

As advised by medical store man, I took Albendazole 1 dose, and considered taking another after 15days as a matter of course. But after 4-5 days now, I am feeling some dizziness and spinning effect. Specially when in the morning after waking up in bed, and moving to sitting position and like sitting for a while then suddenly standing up etc. I searched some internet content and found that it might be some side effects of Albendazole.

I consulted to a homeopathy doctor(as I thought to check my blood pressure, not having some Orthostatic Hypotesion problems, though found that my B.P. is a bit higher side 80-135, I have had a tendency of high B.P) he suggested not to take any further Albendazole tablets.

What should I do ? Please Advise me. I'll be thankful you.
