How much fenbendazole can a human take?

I’ve been reading about fenbendazole and its potential off-label uses for humans. Before considering it, I want to know the appropriate dosage. How much fenbendazole can a human safely take? Are there any established guidelines or recommendations for its dosage in humans?

The most common basic starter fenbendazole dosage for humans is 222 mg daily. The treatment protocol has patients take this dosage for three consecutive days, then take four days off. This basic dosage is for the first few weeks of taking fenbendazole. During this time, the patient will monitor their body and pay attention to any symptoms that develop, such as issues with digestion or a general change in how they feel.

Some patients may experience symptoms as their body gets rid of toxins. This detoxification can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Patients may experience flu-like symptoms, including body aches, headaches, joint pain, muscle pain, sweating, nausea, chills, and general malaise. Patients need to drink enough fluids and rest frequently during the first few weeks of taking fenbendazole.

If the first few weeks are successful, some patients choose to increase their dosage. Typically, Fenbendazole dosing is done in 222 mg increments. So, a patient would add 222 mg and monitor their symptoms for a few weeks before increasing the dose by another 222 mg.

If patients wish to take a higher dosage of fenbendazole daily, it is best to consult a physician or oncology nurse.

One of the most common side effects to monitor is the liver enzyme level, which can become elevated while taking fenbendazole. Therefore, patients need to get a frequent blood count while taking fenbendazole and participating in the Fenben protocol.

After one month of fenbendazole treatment, patients should get a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP). This standard blood test will check the liver and kidney function to ensure they have not increased too much. If liver and kidney blood levels are elevated, patients should lower their dosage and let their bodies adapt at a more gradual pace.

One study from the European Medicines Agency states that “Fenbendazole seems to be well tolerated in humans after oral exposure (single oral dose up to 2,000 mg/per person; 500 mg/per person for 10 consecutive days).”
