Take 500 mg for three days, either mebendozole or albendazole, one time a day. Loads of species here that won't let go of you after just one pill. I alwaus buy Zentel, no side effects.


You might also want to use metronidazole once in a while, to wipe out other small buddies in your intestine before you develop symptoms. That one is known for having more side effects, and you have to ship the 50c beers until about 48 hours after you took the last one.

Dr Scott had me on 2 x packets of Benda 500 per day, along with 2 x Metronizaole per day for ten days earlier this year.

I had no obvious signs of parasites, but my blood work, and place of residence for the best of three years before suggested otherwise.

I had no noticeable side effects other than a metallic taste in mouth and a bad temper due to no beer.

I wouldn't generally bother with Metronidazole, I have used Tinidazole as a better option for over 30 years now.

Tinidazole and metronidazole in the treatment of intestinal amoebiasis.
Tinidazole provided significantly higher cure rates than metronidazole in the treatment of symptomatic intestinal amoebiasis (p less than 0.01), and was better tolerated than metronidazole.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/340131

Single-dose tinidazole for the treatment of giardiasis.P Speelman Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1985 Feb; 27(2): 227–229. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC176243/
