Quick Answer — What is Bandy-Plus?
Bandy-Plus on kiinteä annosyhdistelmä albendatsoli 400 mg + ivermectin 6 mg as a tablet from Mankind. The combination provides single-dose cover for the broadest range of intestinal nematodes plus strongyloides and (in mass-treatment programmes) lymphatic filariasis — one tablet does the work of two separate prescriptions.

What is Bandy-Plus?
Bandy-Plus valmistaja Mankind yhdistää albendazole (a benzimidazole anthelmintic that depletes parasite glucose stores by binding β-tubulin) and ivermektiini (a glutamate-gated chloride channel agonist that paralyses nematodes and ectoparasites). The two molecules attack parasites by different mechanisms and cover overlapping but non-identical species ranges — the combination is broader-spectrum than either alone.
When the combination matters
WHO uses albendazole + ivermectin combination therapy for two indications:
- Lymphatic filariasis mass drug administration (MDA) — annual single-dose, has driven LF elimination across multiple endemic countries
- Mixed nematode infections with concurrent strongyloides — albendazole alone is unreliable for strongyloides, ivermectin alone misses whipworm
For straightforward isolated pinworm or hookworm, albendazole monotherapy is adequate. For people who suspect mixed infection, who have travelled in tropical settings, or whose stool sample showed multiple species, the fixed-dose combination is convenient.
Bandy-Plus dosing
| Kehonpaino | Tabletit | Aikataulu |
|---|---|---|
| 15–25 kg | ½ tablet | Single dose, repeat at 2 weeks for pinworm |
| 26–44 kg | 1 tabletti | Kertaluonteinen annos |
| 45–64 kg | 1½ tablets | Kertaluonteinen annos |
| ≥ 65 kg | 2 tablettia | Kertaluonteinen annos |
Take with water. A light meal is acceptable but a heavy fatty meal can increase ivermectin absorption beyond the safety margin in patients with potential Loa loa exposure.
Sivuvaikutukset
- Yleisiä: abdominal cramps, transient diarrhoea, mild headache, nausea
- Vähemmän yleisiä: dizziness, transient transaminase rise, mild rash
- Harvinainen: Mazzotti-type reaction in patients with onchocerciasis or filariasis (caused by dying microfilariae)
Käyttökiellot
- Hypersensitivity to albendazole, ivermectin, or any benzimidazole
- Children < 15 kg or < 12 months
- First-trimester pregnancy
- Loa loa endemic-region travel without microfilarial screen
- Vakava maksatoimintavajaus
Säilytys
Store below 30°C, protect from light. Keep in original blister.

Usein Kysytyt Kysymykset
Why combine albendazole with ivermectin?
Albendazole covers pinworm, roundworm, hookworm, whipworm, and adult tapeworms reliably. Ivermectin covers strongyloides, scabies, head lice, and onchocerca microfilariae — species albendazole misses or treats poorly. The combination is the WHO-endorsed approach for lymphatic filariasis MDA and a sensible single-shot for mixed-burden infections.
Is one dose enough?
Yes for most indications — mixed nematode infection, strongyloides, ascariasis, hookworm. Pinworm specifically requires a second dose at 2 weeks regardless of which agent you use, because of the autoinfection cycle.
Can my child take Bandy-Plus?
Yes from 15 kg body weight (typically age 2 and above). Use the dose-band table; below 15 kg, use albendazole monotherapy as a paediatric suspension.
Pitäisikö minun ottaa se tyhjään mahaan?
A light meal is fine. Avoid a heavy fatty meal — it can boost ivermectin absorption substantially, useful in some clinical scenarios but not when you are dosing prophylactically.
What about scabies?
Bandy-Plus will treat scabies via its ivermectin component. The standard scabies regimen is a single dose followed by a second dose at day 7–14. Treat all household contacts simultaneously and launder bedding in hot water.
Onko se turvallinen raskauden aikana?
Avoid in the first trimester. After week 13, single-dose treatment of moderate-to-heavy worm burden is usually justified — discuss with a clinician for individualised guidance.
Will Bandy-Plus cause side effects in children?
Side effects are uncommon and usually mild — transient stomach ache or one episode of loose stool as worms pass. Severe reactions are very rare.
How does this compare with mebendazole?
Mebendazole is the historical alternative to albendazole for the same nematode range — both are benzimidazoles with similar mechanism. Albendazole + ivermectin combination expands the spectrum to include strongyloides and ectoparasites, which mebendazole alone does not cover.
Can I take Bandy-Plus preventively before travel?
Routine pre-travel anthelmintic prophylaxis is not recommended for most travellers. The combination is appropriate when you have suspected exposure (open swimming in endemic water bodies, intense outdoor exposure in tropical settings) or post-return symptoms.
How quickly will the medication work?
Adult worms are paralysed within 24–48 hours. Most parasites are passed within a week. Stool ova-and-parasite testing 2–4 weeks post-dose can confirm clearance if symptoms persist.

In cases requiring single-agent benzimidazole therapy rather than the albendazole–ivermectin combination in Bandy-Plus, Wormentel (fenbendazole 222 / 500 mg) is a fenbendazole-class option with over 50 years of veterinary and emerging human-use evidence across a broad parasite spectrum.
