Re: DEC diethylcarbamazine
I am a big hater of Albendazole. By itself it seams to make my mouth taste like soap. Aches are worse.
I dosed high, hair fell out, worms laughed.
After months of testing and trying, I found low dose Albendazole worked with Praziquantel to kill flukes.
After the flukes were gone, I again found that low dose Albendazole helped killing roundworms.
I have read many times it helps take other substances go deeper into tissue, as a cofactor.
The side effects of Albendazole at low dose are minimal.
I suggest 200 mg doses, spaced 4-8 hours apart, for a 238 lb male.
I believe that even lower doses for lower weight would show the same effect, but without any of the effects that high dose causes.
Just a thought.
