Results: A total of 9,536 patients (5,520 simple; 4,016 complex fistulas) entered the stu…
Randomized trial of a single, double and triple dose of 10 mg/kg of a human formulation of triclabendazole in patients with fascioliasis.
2004
1. A study performed > 10 years ago and case reports published recently suggest that triclabendazole is effective for the treatment of patients with fascioliasis. 2.

Patients were randomly allocated to receive 10 mg/kg, p.o., triclabendazole for 1, 2 or 3 days (single-, double- and triple-dose groups, respectively). Medical history and physical and laboratory examinations we…
