Some of the grandkids got pinworms. An ethnic grocery store in town had it behind the counter. I heard they would sell it, went in (didn’t speak the language), used signs and indicated what I wanted, she looked at the owner and they yelled at each other for awhile, then she gave me the pills. It was cheap and it worked.
I would caution that albendazole will make a man grow boobs. Also pregnant women should avoid all dewormers, especially albendazole. Fenben is supposed to be the best, but it’s not a good idea at all. You’d have to be dying of worms or something.

If it’s the best, why it’s not a good idea?

I mean for safety. It’s the safest one to take for a pregnant woman. In goats it’s called safeguard, because it’s safe. I still wouldn’t give it to a pregnant goat (or obviously person). As an adult above child bearing age, I wouldn’t worry about it at all.
A vet once explained to me that whatever stage of development the baby is in, that stage will not develop properly. I’ve heard stories from people who dewormed their animals when some were pregnant and they had problems. Not always, but it happens.
Stomach worms are the bane of goats. Deworming is as important as feeding. I spent 25 years raising dairy goats. Several things can be done as pillars which are non chemical. Still not enough. I found that dewormers helped sick goats that didn’t even have worms. I had a microscope and did fecals frequently. The new stuff coming out about ivermectin and fenben don’t surprise me at all. I wish I understood it.

Albendazole is a very low-risk drug when taken as a single dose. And to target intestinal parasites it’s best chewed on an empty stomach. When taken without food there is poor absorption. Mebendazole can be substituted for Albendazole, but studies show it occasionally fails for one-dose eradication where Albendazole succeeds.
Albendazole and praziquantel together will have a wider spectrum of action than fenbendazole, which also has not been approved for human use. As I noted in my previous post, these two drugs, Albendazole and Praziquantel, are given out in single doses for mass drug administration programs, because of their safety profiles.
And yes, contraindications and drug interactions should always be reviewed with any drug to see if there is a disqualifying factor like pregnancy or serious drug interaction, liver disease, etc. No drug is 100% safe. But relatively speaking these are benign drugs for single use administration.

Luckily, I don’t have goats 
Just one dog! And no one is pregnant in my family.
Is it pretty safe to order from IndiaMart?
I think ordering from IndiaMart is an acceptable risk if you do a quick review of the vendor first. There are ratings on the Indiamart website itself and many vendors have also been reviewed by regular contributors here on the rapamycin board who have posted their personal experiences. I think that’s where most of us are getting our rapamycin.
The riskiest aspect is the international shipping and possible delay at Customs.

Can you explain your use case and dose please?

Yes. It’s sometimes prescribed as a three-day course. If taken as a three-day course rather than single dose, the Mebendazole or Albendazole would be more efficacious against harder to eradicate helminths like hookworm and whipworm.
Herbs of Gold Parastrike formulation is around wormwood: Wormwood Clear (Formerly ParaStrike) – Herbs of Gold
I havent tried this. I have 3mg Stromectol (ivermectin) but have reservations about the other ingredient which are microcrystalline cellulose, pregelatinized starch, magnesium stearate, butylated hydroxyanisole, and citric acid powder (anhydrous). Especially the butylated hydroxyanisole. I think Vermox a safe bet for me.
Yes, mucinous ovarian.
Yes, I take fenben as part of a gut cleanse and cancer prevention for the past 4 years.

How do you take it? Dose, length of use etc
Thanks
ksbradley, I tried Fenbendazole years ago according to the Joe Tippens protocol at the time. It is not objectionable and has no taste. I first tried a tiny bit under the tongue looking for any type of reaction, then doubled it each day until I was satisfied it wasn’t dangerous. The next step was sprinkle a quarter of a pack over a small section of grits in the morning, then double that each day until I reached the full 222 mg package Joe Tippens originally used. From there it was (I believe) one 222 mg package a day several days each week. I noticed nothing in particular, but be prepared for possible loose stool which was of no consequence for me. This had nothing to do with “parasite cleanse” and was only related to being a possible aid in case I ever get diagnosed with cancer.

Thanks so much @Jay
How long did you take it for?
When you say a couple tiles a week, do you take it for a week, a month, continually, etx…
Thanks
ksbradley, I tried it years ago as an “experiment only” for two weeks to see if it was tolerable and it was. If I am ever diagnosed with cancer I keep it in mind as something I will probably do. It is not part of my routine because there are too many other things I have to keep track of. According to Joe Tippens it is an ongoing treatment he uses weekly to keep his cancer at bay, but it is only part of his protocol.
I read Joe Tippens’ account of his cancer story several times years ago and investigated as well as I could. and I’m convinced he believes his protocol is what keeps his cancer away, which may or may not be true because he also took Keytruda while at MD Anderson. But, places and people he referenced in his story are apparently real AND fenbendazole does have anti-cancer properties. So, I don’t dismiss his story though plenty of people do.
Here is a quick summary of his original protocol on a website I know nothing about, otherwise: Fenbendazole: From MD Anderson to Joe Tippens | Ultimate in Integrative Holistic Cancer Therapy, Houston, Texas
Here is Joe Tippens’ story as he tells it (includes updates in his protocol). Reading it in it’s entirety in the blog on this site may lend more credibility to his ideas than one would get otherwise: https://mycancerstory.rocks/
