"Our data suggest that co-administration of ivermectin, albendazole and praziquantel is safe in areas where lymphatic filariasis, soil-transmitted helminthiasis and schistosomiasis are co-endemic and where several rounds of treatment with one or two drugs have been implemented in the past."5.13Triple co-administration of ivermectin, albendazole and praziquantel in zanzibar: a safety study. ( Biswas, G; Bradley, MH; Chitsulo, L; Engels, D; Gabrielli, AF; Haji, HJ; Mohammed, KA; Molyneux, DH; Mubila, L; Savioli, L, 2008)

( Akrasi, W; Boye, A; Brah, AS; Essuman, MA; Osei, V, 2022)
"The combined effect of the Lymphatic Filariasis Elimination Programme (LFEP) and the National Schistosomiasis and Soil-transmitted Helminthiasis Control Programme (NSSCP) on soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) was evaluated."1.35The combined effect of the Lymphatic Filariasis Elimination Programme and the Schistosomiasis and Soil-transmitted Helminthiasis Control Programme on soil-transmitted helminthiasis in schoolchildren in Tanzania.
