Slept about 6 hours after albendazole. But woke up in an hour retching. Did not actually vomit (last meal was several hours ago). Are these side effects of albendazole?

Hello,
Fever is a very rare but possible side effect of Albendazole. Stomach irritation and nausea are more common with its use.
Both of these symptoms may happen with other conditions as well.
I would advise you to talk to your doctor in case these symptoms persist or are any worse.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
