Hello,
I think one month is enough to stop this fall as side effects of albentazole. You may also need to check liver, kidneys and thyroid. Impaired kidney function and liver function can cause hair loss. Hypothyroidism may cause also hairloss.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
