Therapy should be discontinued if liver enzymes are significantly increased or if clinically significant decreases in blood cell counts occur.Although single doses of albendazole have been shown not to inhibit theophylline metabolism, albendazole does induce CYP450 1A in human hepatoma cells. The mean apparent terminal elimination half-life of albendazole sulphoxide typically ranged from 8 to 12 hours in 25 normal subjects, as well as in 14 hydatid and 8 neurocysticercosis patients.Following 4 weeks of treatment with albendazole (200 mg three times daily), plasma concentrations of albendazole sulphoxide in 12 patients were approximately 20% lower than those observed during the first half of the treatment period, suggesting that albendazole may induce its own metabolism.Albendazole sulphoxide is 70% bound to plasma protein and is widely distributed throughout the body; it has been detected in urine, bile, liver, cyst wall, cyst fluid, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Albendazole sulphoxide plasma concentrations were unchanged 4 hours after dosing.The pharmacokinetics of theophylline (aminophylline 5.8 mg/kg infused over 20 minutes) was unchanged following a single oral dose of albendazole (400 mg) in 6 healthy subjects.Albendazole is excreted in animal milk. Biliary elimination presumably accounts for a portion of the elimination as evidenced by biliary concentrations of albendazole sulphoxide similar to those achieved in plasma.The safety and pharmacokinetic properties of ivermectin were further assessed in a multiple-dose clinical pharmacokinetic study involving healthy volunteers. If hepatic enzymes exceed twice the upper limit of normal, consideration should be given to discontinuing albendazole therapy based on individual patient circumstances. Ce médicament est disponible sous divers noms de marque ou sous différentes présentations, ou les deux. Symptoms may occur soon after treatment; appropriate steroid and anticonvulsant therapy should be started immediately.Cysticercosis may, in rare cases, involve the retina. In individuals who warrant treatment with ivermectin for any reason and have had significant exposure to Ivermectin should be taken on an empty stomach with water.In the fed state, praziquantel (40 mg/kg) increased mean maximum plasma concentration and the AUC of albendazole sulphoxide by about 50% in healthy subjects (n = 10) compared with a separate group of subjects (n = 6) given albendazole alone. However, ivermectin was better tolerated than thiabendazole in comparative studies involving 37 patients treated with thiabendazole.The Mazzotti-type and ophthalmologic reactions associated with the treatment of onchocerciasis or the disease itself would not be expected to occur in strongyloidiasis patients treated with ivermectin.In clinical trials, ophthalmological conditions were examined in 963 adult patients before treatment, at day 3, and months 3 and 6 after treatment with 100 to 200 mcg/kg ivermectin. Une marque spécifique de ce médicament n'est peut-être pas offerte sous toutes les formes ni avoir été approuvée contre toutes les affections dont il e… Concentrations in plasma were 3- to 10-fold and 2- to 4-fold higher than those simultaneously determined in cyst fluid and CSF, respectively. Induction of emesis and/or gastric lavage as soon as possible, followed by purgatives and other routine anti-poison measures, may be indicated if needed to prevent absorption of the ingested material.Currently there are no topics under this specialityCurrently there are no topics under this speciality
These elevations have generally returned to normal upon discontinuation of therapy. Patients with liver disease, including hepatic echinococcosis, appear to be more at risk for bone marrow suppression leading to pancytopenia, aplastic anaemia, agranulocytosis and leucopenia attributable to albendazole, and warrant closer monitoring of blood counts.
