title: [The enhanced bioavailability of mebendazole in echinococcosis patients when used with Essentiale].
abstract: Mebendasole is better absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract if administered together with essential to patients with hydatid disease. Thirty-four patients with alveolar and hydatid echinococcosis were administered mebendasol in a daily dose of 50 mg/kg in 4 doses and essentiale in a daily dose of 600-1000 mg in 4 doses. A total of 86 therapeutic courses, 30 days each, were carried out. The treatment was sufficiently well tolerated. Mebendasole levels in the course of therapy surpassed the minimal effective ones in 2/3 of the patients, that is, they were significantly higher than in administration of mebendasole alone.
