Albenza Alcohol, Albenza Alcohol interaction, What is Albenza

Albenza alcohol speaks to Albenza alcohol interaction, what is Albenza and Albenza side effects.

This site speaks to Albenza. Albendazole is the generic name for the drug sold under the brand name of Albenza.

This drug is known as an anthelmintec type drug and is prescribed for nervous systems infections caused by forms of the pork tapeworm, cysts in the liver, lung and belly caused by a form of the dog tapeworm. Surgery may be required as well as the drug.

No alcohol consumption is advised when taking Albenza as it may influence side effects and behavior of the drug. Wait two months after the cessation of treatment before drinking alcohol.

At this time the medical community defines moderate consumption of alcohol as no more than two drinks per day and no more than 14 drinks per week. Anything more than that is considered an unhealthy dependency on alcohol, that may have adverse social, family and health consequences.

If a person drinks only once or twice a week but drinks on the same days each week and more than two drinks this is considered as an alcohol dependency.

If a person binge drinks at any time during the week this is also considered as alcoholism.

Some consider alcoholism as a disease while others consider it an addiction which is the result of personal choice and character fault. This school of thought blames the alcoholism on life style choices.

Personally I consider alcoholism a genetic tendency as I have seen families of alcoholics even when they live far apart. These unfortunate people are probably dependent on alcohol from the first drink.

When alcohol interacts with prescription over the counter drugs it usually results in negative health effects most especially liver damage as the main organ affected.
