What is Zentel (Albendazole IP) used for?

Zentel (Albendazole IP) is an oral anthelmintic prescribed to treat different kinds of worm infections. The medication operates by starving and destroying worm larvae while preventing them from reproducing. This allows the parasites to be eliminated through normal bodily function. It is designed to successfully clear infections caused by threadworms, pinworms, roundworms, whipworms, tapeworms and hookworms from the digestive tract and other tissues.

How should I use Zentel (Albendazole IP)?

Follow your doctor`s instructions while using Zentel (Albendazole IP) to get the safest and most effective results from treatment.

These should be swallowed with a large glass of water and may be taken on an empty stomach, although a snack or meal is recommended prior to use if you experience nausea. Do not crush, chew, or split the tablets before use to avoid destroying or altering the effects of their contents. Never stop taking the medicine before being instructed to do so by your doctor as the infection may not be gone and can return.
