Yes if there are not known hypersensitivity/allergic reaction to it, albendazole can be given at 25 mg/kg, orally, every 12 hrs (on this dose is effective against Guardia parasite as well). Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
