Hello,
It depends upon the which type of worm infestation your having. To confirm that you have to get it done ova or cyst and stool culture.
Albendazole may give maximum coverage but not total. So you have to get stool examination is done then consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
