Adverse Reactions

The following adverse drug reactions and incidences are derived from product labeling unless otherwise specified.

>10%:

Central nervous system: Headache (neurocysticercosis: 11%; hydatid: 1%)

Hepatic: Increased liver enzymes (hydatid: 16%; neurocysticercosis: <1%)

1% to 10%:

Central nervous system: Increased intracranial pressure (≤2%), dizziness (≤1%), vertigo (≤1%), meningism (1%)

Dermatologic: Alopecia (<1% to 2%)

Gastrointestinal: Abdominal pain (≤6%), nausea and vomiting (4% to 6%)

Miscellaneous: Fever (≤1%)

<1%, postmarketing, and/or case reports: Acute hepatic failure, acute renal failure, agranulocytosis, aplastic anemia, erythema multiforme, granulocytopenia, hepatitis, hypersensitivity reaction, leukopenia, neutropenia, pancytopenia, skin rash, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, thrombocytopenia, urticaria

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to albendazole, benzimidazoles, or any component of the formulation

Warnings/Precautions

Concerns related to adverse effects:

• Bone marrow suppression: Agranulocytosis, aplastic anemia, granulocytopenia, leukopenia, and pancytopenia have occurred leading to fatalities (rare); use with caution in patients with hepatic impairment (more susceptible to hematologic toxicity). Discontinue therapy in all patients who develop clinically significant decreases in blood cell counts.

• Transaminase elevations: Reversible elevations in hepatic enzymes have been reported. Patients with abnormal LFTs and hepatic echinococcosis are at an increased risk of hepatotoxicity. Discontinue therapy if LFT elevations are >2 times the upper limit of normal; may consider restarting treatment (with frequent monitoring of LFTs) when hepatic enzymes return to pretreatment values. Discontinue therapy if hepatic enzymes are significantly increased.

Disease-related concerns:

• Neurocysticercosis: Appropriate use: Antiparasitic therapy may worsen symptoms of neurocysticercosis by inducing an inflammatory response; adjunctive corticosteroid therapy should be started before initiation of albendazole. Antiparasitic therapy should not be initiated in patients with untreated hydrocephalus, calcified lesions, or cysticercal encephalitis. Perform funduscopic exam prior to initiation of antiparasitic therapy to exclude intraocular cysticerci; antiparasitic therapy may lead to blindness in some cases with unsuspected intraocular parasites (IDSA/ASTMH [White 2018]).

Metabolism/Transport Effects

Substrate of CYP1A2 (minor), CYP3A4 (minor); Note: Assignment of Major/Minor substrate status based on clinically relevant drug interaction potential

Drug Interactions

Note: Interacting drugs may not be individually listed below if they are part of a group interaction (eg, individual drugs within “CYP3A4 Inducers [Strong]” are NOT listed). For a complete list of drug interactions by individual drug name and detailed management recommendations, use the Lexicomp drug interactions program by clicking on the “Launch drug interactions program” link above.

CarBAMazepine: May decrease serum concentrations of the active metabolite(s) of Albendazole. Risk C: Monitor therapy

Grapefruit Juice: May increase serum concentrations of the active metabolite(s) of Albendazole. Specifically, concentrations of albendazole sulfate may be increased. Risk C: Monitor therapy

Nirmatrelvir and Ritonavir: May decrease the serum concentration of Albendazole. Risk C: Monitor therapy

PHENobarbital: May decrease serum concentrations of the active metabolite(s) of Albendazole. Risk C: Monitor therapy

Phenytoin: May decrease serum concentrations of the active metabolite(s) of Albendazole. Risk C: Monitor therapy

Ritonavir: May decrease the serum concentration of Albendazole. Risk C: Monitor therapy

Food Interactions

Albendazole serum levels may be increased if taken with a fatty meal (increases the oral bioavailability by up to 5 times). Management: Should be administered with a high-fat meal when treating systemic infections.

Reproductive Considerations

Evaluate pregnancy status prior to use in females of reproductive potential. Effective contraception is recommended during chronic therapy (Persichino 2018) and for 1 month after the last dose (per the manufacturer).

The World Health Organization recommends preventive therapy with a benzimidazole, such as albendazole, in females of reproductive potential who live in areas where the baseline prevalence of soil-transmitted helminth infections is ≥20% (WHO 2017).

Pregnancy Considerations

Information following first trimester use of albendazole is limited (Gyorkos 2019; Lau 2020). Most pregnancy outcome information is available from studies using a single dose of albendazole administered to women during the second or third trimester (Gyorkos 2019; Lau 2020; Mofid 2017; Salam 2015). However, case reports are also available following longer term treatment of hydatid disease (Auer 1994; Bhattacharyya 2013; Pallua 2010).

Untreated soil-transmitted helminth infections during pregnancy are associated with adverse maternal outcomes (eg, maternal iron deficiency anemia, impaired nutrient absorption) (WHO 2017).

Use during the first trimester of pregnancy is not recommended (HHS [OI Adult 2019]; IDSA/ASTMH [White 2018]; WHO 1996; WHO 2017). Pregnant patients with neurocysticercosis should be treated for symptoms (eg, increased intracranial pressure, seizures) the same as nonpregnant patients; however, antihelminthic therapy with albendazole can be deferred until after delivery (IDSA/ASTMH [White 2018]). Albendazole should not be used for the treatment of microsporidiosis in HIV-infected pregnant patients during the first trimester; use later in pregnancy may be considered when the benefits outweigh potential risks (HHS [OI Adult 2019]; White 2018). The WHO also recommends treatment of soil-transmitted helminthiases (such as hookworm) in pregnant patients after the first trimester (WHO 1996). Pregnant women arriving as refugees from specific countries should not be given albendazole for the presumptive treatment of intestinal parasites prior to arrival in the United States (CDC 2019a).

Breastfeeding Considerations

Albendazole is present in breast milk.

Albendazole excretion into breast milk was studied following a single oral 400 mg dose in breastfeeding women 2 weeks' to 6 months' postpartum (n=33). Mean albendazole concentrations 6 hours after the dose were 63.7 ± 11.9 ng/mL (maternal serum) and 31.9 ± 9.2 ng/mL (milk). An active and inactive metabolite were also detected in breast milk (Abdel-tawab 2009).

A case report describes use of albendazole for the treatment of hydatid disease of the breast in a lactating woman (Siddiqui 2015).

According to the manufacturer, the decision to breastfeed during therapy should consider the risk of infant exposure, the benefits of breastfeeding to the infant, and benefits of treatment to the mother. However, albendazole is generally considered compatible with breastfeeding (WHO 2002). Breastfeeding women arriving as refugees from specific countries may be given albendazole for the presumptive treatment of intestinal parasites (CDC 2019a).

Monitoring Parameters

LFTs and CBC with differential at start of each 28-day cycle and every 2 weeks during therapy (more frequent monitoring for patients with liver disease); pregnancy test

Patients with neurocysticercosis: Ophthalmic exam for retinal lesions prior to therapy initiation; MRI every 6 months after completing therapy until resolution of cystic lesion (IDSA/ASTMH [White 2018])

Mechanism of Action

Active metabolite, albendazole sulfoxide, causes selective degeneration of cytoplasmic microtubules in intestinal and tegmental cells of intestinal helminths and larvae; glycogen is depleted, glucose uptake and cholinesterase secretion are impaired, and desecratory substances accumulate intracellulary. ATP production decreases causing energy depletion, immobilization, and worm death.

Pharmacokinetics (Adult Data Unless Noted)

Note: In pediatric patients (6 to 13 years), pharmacokinetic values were reported to be similar to adult data.

Absorption: Poor from the GI tract; may increase up to 5 times when administered with a fatty meal.

Distribution: Widely distributed throughout the body including urine, bile, liver, cyst wall, cyst fluid, and CSF.

Protein binding: 70%.

Metabolism: Hepatic; extensive first-pass effect; pathways include rapid sulfoxidation to active metabolite (albendazole sulfoxide [major]), hydrolysis, and oxidation.

Half-life elimination: 8 to 12 hours (albendazole sulfoxide).

Time to peak, serum: 2 to 5 hours for the metabolite.

Excretion: Urine (<1% as active metabolite); feces.

Pharmacokinetics: Additional Considerations (Adult Data Unless Noted)

Hepatic function impairment: Systemic availability, rate of absorption, and the elimination half-life of albendazole sulfoxide are increased in patients with extrahepatic obstruction.
