Abstract:

Echinococcosis is a parasitic disease that seriously affects the health and life safety of farmers and herdsmen. Albendazole is the primary clinical drug. However, the bioavailability of albendazole is low, requiring patients to increase the dosage and take medicine for a long time, producing certain adverse reactions and drug resistance. In order to improve the efficacy of albendazole and reduce the damage of drugs to the body, more and more studies pay attention to the combination of albendazole. This paper focuses on the advances progress of other drugs combined with albendazole in the treatment of echinococcosis to provide a reference for the further research and application of drug therapy in patients with echinococcosis.

Key words: Echinococcosis, Albendazole, Medication, Combination therapy
