Pharmacokinetic comparison of two albendazole dosage regimens in patients with neurocysticercosis.

Abstract:

:To evaluate two different dosage regimens for albendazole (7.5 mg/kg twice a day or 5.0 mg/kg three times a day), a study was performed in 10 patients with a diagnosis of parenchymal brain cysticercosis. Each patient received both regimens sequentially according to a randomized, crossover design. Blood and urine samples were taken once the drug steady state had been reached. Plasma levels of albendazole sulfoxide at steady state were determined using a HPLC method. In spite of a great intersubject variability observed with both regimens in the area under the curve (AUC) and in the minimum steady-state plasma concentration (Cp min ss), no statistically significant differences were found in these parameters. We suggest that a regimen of 7.5 mg/kg every 12 h can favorably replace the currently used regimen of 5 mg/kg every 8 h.
