Every flower had a specific meaning, and sometimes different colors of the same flower had different meanings as well. The way in which the flowers were given made a difference, too - for instance, if it was given upside down or if it was given dried made a difference in meaning.
Albendazole, marketed as Albenza among others, is a medication used for the treatment of a variety of parasitic worm infestations. It is useful for giardiasis, trichuriasis, filariasis, neurocysticercosis, hydatid disease, pinworm disease, and ascariasis, among others. It is taken by mouth.
Albendazole is used off-label for hookworm treatment and is not advised for use in children younger than 6 years. Albendazole appears to be superior to mebendazole for curing hookworm infection in children, achieving cure rates of approximately 90% for Ancylostoma and 75% for Necator.
