Several challenges exist in the use of albendazole, including:
- Drug resistance: The potential for parasites to develop resistance to albendazole necessitates careful monitoring and alternative treatment strategies. - Access and distribution: Ensuring that albendazole reaches all at-risk populations, particularly in remote or conflict-affected regions, can be challenging. - Compliance: Achieving high compliance rates in MDA programs is essential for their success, requiring effective community engagement and education.
