Take 4 tablets, 500mg (2g), daily, for 7 days. First day, take 4 tablets (2g) together, in AM. Next 6 days, take 2 tablets (1g), twice daily, AM/PM, evenly spaced 12 hours apart. Chew or crush tablets. Take each dose with 8 oz water after a light meal.
Niclosamide is poorly absorbed in the gut, so you must chew tab very well. Or use a pill splitter box, crush tablets into smithereens, & sprinkle over soft food.
Praziquantel (Biltricide) & Albendazole (Albenza):
Praziquantel is taken taken together with Albendazole to systemically kill any remaining diehard adults in the intestines & eggs, larva, & cysts scattered throughout the body.
These drugs have synergistic action when taken together, versus taking each drug as a separate treatment, & result in higher cure rates.
Praziquantel (Biltricide):
Take 1 dose* (25mg/kg), tablets or gelcaps**, 3 times daily, evenly spaced 6 hrs apart. Take each dose with 8oz water. Take AM/PM doses with Albendazole (see below).***
Convert your body weight from pounds (lbs) to kilograms (kg), using the Curezone "Convert Weights Easily" Calculator (scroll to middle of page): http://curezone.com/conversions.asp.
*To calculate dosage, see Dosage Examples below
**Instead of tablets, you can pour Praziquantel powder into empty gelcaps. 00-size gelcaps hold 600mg. Use a Q-tip to firmly press down powder into both parts of gelcap.
***See Drug Schedule below for intestinal tapeworms. See Alternate Drug Schedule below for encysted tapeworms.
Each Dose = 25mg/kg
Your weight = 160lb = 72.57kg (rounded 73kg)
Tablet = 600mg
Tab Dosage = 25mg x 73kg = 1,825mg (1,800mg rounded)
Tab Dosage = 1,800mg divided by 600 = 3 tabs
Tabs 1 Day = 3 tabs x 3 times = 9 tabs
Tabs 3 Days = 9 tabs x 3 days = 27 tabs
Tabs 6 Days = 9 tabs x 6 days = 54 tabs
Gelcap (00 size) = 600mg
Powder Dosage = 25mg x 73kg = 1,825mg (1,800mg rounded)
Gelcap Dosage = 1,800mg divided by 600 = 3 gelcaps
Gelcaps 1 Day = 3 gelcaps x 3 times = 9 gelcaps (5,400mg)
Gelcaps 3 Days = 9 gelcaps x 3 days = 27 gelcaps (16,200mg)
Gelcaps 6 Days = 9 gelcaps x 6 days = 54 gelcaps (32,400mg)
Albendazole (Albenza):
Take 1 dose,* 400mg tablet or 3.5ml suspension, twice daily, AM/PM, evenly spaced 12 hrs apart, for 14 days. Take each dose with 8oz water & 40g fat.** Take with AM/PM doses of Praziquantel (see above).***
Note: Taken for longer than 2 weeks without a 1-week rest break may result in temporary hair loss (Alopecia), liver impairment, or parasite drug-resistance.
Albendazole is poorly absorbed in the gut, so you must chew tablet very well! Or use a pill splitter box, crush tablet into smithereens, & sprinkle on soft food.
*Instead of tablets, you can take Valbazen (Albendazole) Oral Suspension for Cattle & Sheep. It contains 11.36% or 113.6mg/ml of Albendazole. Use an oral syringe to measure 3.5ml, which equals a 400mg tablet. Mix into 8oz beverage or soft food to mask the yucky taste. May add sugar or other sweetener.
**You must consume 40g fat with each dose of Albendazole (e.g, grilled cheese sandwich, ice cream, cheese pizza, cheesecake, buttered popcorn, peanut butter, cheese, cottage cheese, whipped cream, sour cream, melted real butter, or salad dressing over food, etc). Check food labels for fat gram content. Fat acts as a carrier & increases absorption & plasma concentration. If you omit this step, you'll just flush $ & meds down the drain!
***See Drug Schedule below for intestinal tapeworms. See Alternate Drug Schedule below for encysted tapeworms.

Dosing Tips:
Recommend taking these antiparasitic vitamins & supplements, especially Zinc & Sulfur (MSM), during treatment: http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1575262#i.
Eat high-fiber foods & drink 8 glasses of fluids daily to flush out toxins & parasitic die-off.
During drug treatment, stop using herbal remedies, flushes, cleanses, DE, laxatives, colonics, MMS, nutrasilver, RIFE, zappers, & other OTC parasite products.
None of these methods cure parasite infections. They can be very toxic, destroy beneficial gut flora, & impair organs of the digestive system.
They cause parasites to scatter everywhere, carrying enteric pathogens with them. And they counteract & remove parasite drugs from your system.
Disseminated parasites & toxins create a hyperinfection state & severely impact the immune system. Then it's an uphill battle to eradicate them & repair damage done to the body.
For constipation or if worms or larva migrate to lower colon/anal area out of reach of meds in upper intestines:
~ At bedtime, take 1-2 tsp mineral oil to soften stool & loosen grip of worms & larva. Wear underwear protection, because if you pass gas, you might "burn oil". (lol)
~ Or use a Fleet saline enema to flush out stool, worms, larva, die-off, & toxins from the colon.
Topical treatments, creams, & ointments for parasites & larva in skin, scalp, soft tissue, mucous membranes, & perianal/genitourinary areas: http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1628614#i.
