Is Albendazole Safe for Regular Deworming?

Hi folks, I’ve been reading about Albendazole tablets and how they help with periodic deworming, especially in areas where parasitic infections are common. Some people say it’s good to take every 6 months as a preventive measure, but I’m unsure if that’s safe without a doctor’s advice. I also saw online versions of the tablet being sold, and it made me wonder how to verify authenticity. Do you get this medicine from a pharmacy or order online? How do you know if it’s genuine? Any feedback from those who’ve used it for routine deworming would be great—especially about dosage, effectiveness, and safety.
