Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

So considering you have worm infestation, I suggest you try the following:

  1. Tablet Bandy plus (Albendazole and Ivermectin) 400 mg or tablet Albendazole 400 mg, to be taken once after dinner and same dose to be repeated after two weeks.
  2. So you can have either of these after consulting your doctor. Bandy plus is more effective.

Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
