My wife is pregnant of 6 months (first pregnancy). Few months back she had pinworm infection, so her gynecologist give Albendazole tablet to treat infection twice a month. From last 3 months she had taken 2 doses in a month. But now I see on internet that Albendazole must not be taken during pregnancy. Sir / Madam please suggest me, how will this tablet effect the baby and have any solution for this happening?

Risk are less because she has taken after 3 months when development of baby is taking place. Now nothing can be done you must have done 18 weeks ultrsound to know that baby is normal.
