Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Albendazole is an anthelmintic. It works by killing sensitive parasites.
The dose recommended for children less than 20 kg is 200 mg orally as a single dose.
However, since she is just 4 years old, it would be better if you consult Paediatrician and know about the medication before administering it.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
