Albendazole: a new drug for human parasitoses

Giancarlo Albanese et al. Dermatol Clin. 2003 Apr.

Abstract

In 1961 Brown and his team discovered that thiobendazoles were highly effective against gastrointestinal nematodes. This discovery led to the development of albendazole, the most recent of the benzimidazolic drugs. Albendazole is used against numerous animal and human parasites and it is the authors' first choice as drug treatment of cutaneous larva migrans.
