Can you see worms in the stool after taking Albendazole?

Albenza refers to albendazole. Generally, whether worms can be seen in the stool after taking albendazole depends on the size of the worms. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Yes

Albendazole is an anthelmintic drug, available in common formulations such as tablets, granules, and capsules. It is primarily used to treat nematode infections including hookworm, roundworm, whipworm, pinworm, and trichinella, and can also be used for cysticercosis and echinococcosis. If the worms in a patient's body are relatively large, after being killed by albendazole, they may not be digested or absorbed by the intestines but instead be excreted directly from the body, thus worm bodies may be visible in the feces.

2. No

If the worms inside the patient's body are small, once killed by albendazole, they may be broken down and absorbed by digestive fluids in the intestine, making it unlikely to see worm bodies in the stool.

It is recommended to use albendazole under the guidance of a physician. Do not self-medicate with albendazole to avoid potential adverse effects.
