Are there any side effects for humans when taking albendazole?

I'm considering starting treatment with albendazole and I'm concerned about potential side effects. Could you inform me about the common and serious side effects humans might experience when taking albendazole?

Common side effects are generally mild and can include headache, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, dizziness or vertigo and temporary hair loss.

Less common but more serious side effects include fever, increased intracranial pressure and meningeal signs, liver enzyme elevations and hepatitis and allergic reactions like rashes and hives.

Rare but potentially severe side effects include acute liver or kidney failure or seizures.
