Yes, she calls for a break. Plus other people on this forum have been gracious enough to share their experience with developing resistance (by taking albendazole longer than recommended, hence it no longer works for them) thereby helping other people to avoid this predicament. Don't be confused, the above is contradictory. Seriously, losing my hair would be like a holiday compared to resistance. I'll take a years worth of cycles if I have to, rather than gamble with something so risky.
