I have bruxism problem during sleep. I grind teeth while asleep. I heard that this problem can occur due to worms as well. So I am taking albendazole for worms first before visiting dentist. I wanna ask how to take albendazole. Do I need to chew it or do I need to take it with water and swallow it?
