Albendazole is a broad-spectrum antiparasitic medication commonly prescribed to treat a variety of worm infections. While it is primarily used for intestinal helminths such as roundworms, whipworms, and hookworms, it can also play a role in managing ringworm-related conditions in certain cases. It is important to note that ringworm, despite its name, is not caused by a worm but by a fungal infection of the skin, hair, or nails.
