Then Ivermectin combination with Albendazole works better

Detailed Answer:
Hi...Then Ivermectin combination with Albendazole works better.

If plain Albendazole is not showing results, Ivermectin combination is indicated. But it is a prescription drug and you will need one for it.

Answered by Dr. Sumanth Amperayani (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Please be clear - I didn't understand what is "jt"

Detailed Answer:
Hi..... Please be clear in your question. I did not understand what is"jt".

The medication which I suggested is a combination of Albendazole and Ivermectin.

In XXXXXXX this is a prescription medicine. In some countries Albendazole might be a over the counter medication, but definitely not Ivermectin.

Please get back to me with your query.
