Question

I'm trying to understand how I should take albendazole for deworming as an adult. Do I just need a single dose, or is it better to take two doses? And if it's two doses, how many days apart should I take them?

To take albendazole for deworming in adults, you typically only need a single dose. The usual recommended dosage for albendazole in adults is 400mg as a single dose. It is important to take the medication at night, preferably with food, to increase its absorption and effectiveness. Remember to follow your healthcare provider's instructions and do not exceed the recommended dosage. If you have any specific health conditions or concerns, please consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Question

I'm a bit concerned because my vaccinated dog bit me, and I started bleeding. I got my anti-rabies shot about 15 hours later, but the doctor gave me the injection on my butt. Some people are saying it should've been given on the shoulders instead. Does this mean my vaccination might not work, or should I be worried about it?
