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.

I'm really worried because someone I know tested positive for Covid and had symptoms. But after about 5 days, the symptoms went away. Do we really need to do another Covid test now, or is it okay to skip it since theyre feeling better? I'm just unsure if there's a risk, so some guidance would be really helpful.
