Hello ma'am and welcome.
Please inform your 'friend' that albendazole falls under the category C of pregnancy drugs, and is mostly safe but can at times have a few side effects. I would however suggest informing all the doctors she visits about her pregnancy status (once confirmed of course).
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
