Albendazole is poorly absorbed from the GI tract, reaching peak plasma levels in about 5 hours. It is metabolized in the liver and primarily excreted in urine. Although praziquantel is excreted in the urine, it is rapidly absorbed from the GI tract. Mebendazole and ivermectin are excreted in feces.
