About Albendazole
Albendazole is the most widely used deworming medication in Nigeria and one of the most important public health drugs in the country. Intestinal worm infections are extremely common in Nigeria, particularly among children, due to factors such as poor sanitation, contaminated water sources, open defecation, and walking barefoot on contaminated soil. Albendazole is a benzimidazole anthelmintic — a class of drugs that kills parasitic worms by disrupting their ability to absorb glucose, which starves and eventually kills them. It is the drug of choice for mass deworming campaigns conducted by the Federal Ministry of Health and various state governments across Nigeria, especially in primary schools.
