Hi,
Albendazole is very effective against all types of worms.
It will take some time to eradicate all worms from the system so you can wait for some time to get all worms eradicated from GI tract.
One course is enough but you can repeat the course after 1-2 weeks if required.
Keep her nail well cut and maintain good nails and hand hygiene.
Ok and take care.
